Edward Vuyisile Dupisani, the father of one of the missing boys, 17-year-old Xhanti Salmani, has been at the beach since early this morning. Dupisani shared that his son and his friend were close and had gone to Victoria Bay with a group of friends around 5pm yesterday.
Upon arriving at the beach, the two boys went for a swim near the rocks on the north-eastern side.
‘Apparently a rip current took them soon after they were in the water. Xhanti’s friend apparently grabbed Xhanti in an effort to help him, but both disappeared under the water. The older boy who drove them here immediately phoned the NSRI and Sanele’s mom, who let me know,’ Dupisani explained.
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
