Banana Beach: Man Missing

Johann Stadler, NSRI Mdumbi duty coxswain, said: At 14h57, Monday, 5 January, NSRI Mdumbi duty crew were activated following reports from Nyandeni Municipality of a drowning in progress near to Hluleka Nature Reserve, at a beach known as Banana Beach.

Nyandeni Municipal lifeguards had entered the water in efforts to rescue a man appearing to be caught in rip currents and in distress in the surf zone reportedly while cray fishing but the man had disappeared under water before lifeguards reached him.

Lifeguards had continued in search efforts while the NSRI Mdumbi rescue craft JetRIIB was launched from the NSRI Mdumbi station 49 rescue base.

The SA Police Services were activated.

On NSRI arriving on the scene we joined lifeguards in sea and shoreline search efforts for the missing 31 year old local man.

Despite extensive search efforts there remains no signs of the missing man.

Police Search and Rescue are tasked to continue in ongoing search efforts, assisted by lifeguards.

Thoughts and care are with the family and friends of the missing man in this difficult time.

  1. The wonder of a man with a running stomach is that he knows the direction of the door without anybody’s guidance.

  2. Bunny Chow. This is a traditional South African Indian dish and usually consists of curry served in a hollowed-out half-loaf of unsliced white bread. It’s best when the bread is soft and fresh and the curry is extra spicy.
