Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A teenager died and another is still missing after getting into difficulty in the surf line at Strand Beach on Saturday, the National Sea Rescue Institute said.<\/p>\n

NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon said the Gordons Bay crew was activated at around 19:06 on Saturday after receiving calls the teenagers had gone missing.<\/p>\n

He added the City of Cape Town Water Rescue Network was activated to the drowning in progress and launched the sea rescue craft Rescue 9 Bravo.<\/p>\n

“On arrival at the scene, a sea and shoreline search commenced for two male teenagers who were reported by eyewitnesses to have been in the water before sight of them was lost.<\/p>\n

“NSRI rescue swimmers initiated sweeping line free dive search efforts while the NSRI rescue craft searched through the wave lines. Emergency services on the shoreline conducted shoreline search efforts.”<\/p>\n

Lambinon said residents came across the body of one of the missing teenagers in shallow surf.<\/p>\n

It was removed by police and government health forensic pathology services.<\/p>\n

Lambinon added 11 NSRI rescue swimmers formed a sweeping line search in the surfline to search further down the beach for the second missing boy.<\/p>\n

“Despite an extensive search, the 17-year-old male from Delt remains missing.<\/p>\n

“It is believed that they are friends and that they were swimming together before both being caught in rip currents,” he said.<\/p>\n

A police dive unit was continuing with a search operation on Sunday.<\/p>\n

An inquest docket has been opened.<\/p>\n
