We are appealing to parents and adults to exercise more caution as police cannot afford one more death that could have been avoided. A stern warning is issued to those who continue to drink and swim to refrain from this abhorred conduct before it is too late.
This warning follows after several drowning incidents were recorded. It is alleged that five people went to the beach at Kariega Mouth, Kenton on Sea on 24 December 2017. Two men were swimming at the beach at about 16:00 where it is alleged that when one of them emerged from the water, the second one was missing.
The NSRI (National Sea Rescue Institute) and SAPS divers were called in and they managed to retrieve the body of the drowned man, who is estimated to be 26 years old from Port Elizabeth.
It is alleged that the man was at Kenton on Sea as a contract worker but his names, surname, address and next of kin are still not yet known.
An inquest docket was opened and is under investigation at Kenton on Sea.
