One man has died and six others are still missing after their boat capsized near Clifton beach, Cape Town.
“An unmanned semi-submerged RHIB was located 2 nautical miles offshore of Mouille Point lighthouse and is believed to be the craft that the 13 men had been on,” he said.
“An SA Air Force 22 Squadron Oryx helicopter accompanied by NSRI ASR rescue swimmers and WC Government Health EMS rescue paramedics was tasked by MRCC and joined the operation. He said during the search, two men were located by the air force helicopter, floating in the water three quarters a nautical mile offshore of Bakoven.
“Both men, suffering hypothermia, were recovered into the helicopter using a basket hoist and they were airlifted to hospital where they are recovering,” Lambinon said.
