Search operations continue for the six fishermen believed to be missing at sea after their boat capsized last week Thursday.
Cape Town - Search operations continue for the six fishermen believed to be missing at sea after their boat capsized between Mouille Point and Oudekraal.
An abandoned semi-submerged inflatable boat was located two miles off-shore at Mouille Point Lighthouse and is believed to be the craft that the 13 men had been on."The man who raised the alarm and who had come ashore at Clifton was not injured and revealed that an additional three men had come ashore and were not injured and they were accounted for," he said.
A rescue swimmer was deployed from the helicopter and secured one of the men, and sea rescue craft rendezvoused at that location and secured one man who was taken onboard a sea rescue craft. "During an ongoing search the body of one man was located and recovered onto a sea rescue craft and the body of the man was brought to NSRI Bakoven and taken into the care of the Government Health Forensic Pathology Services and police attended at the scene and have opened an inquest docket."Police spokesperson Captain FC Van Wyk confirmed that investigations and search operations are still underway.
