In less than 48 hours, nine people, including an eight-year-old child, had to be rescued after getting into trouble in the water in KwaZulu-Natal.
National Sea Rescue Institute NSRI St Lucia deputy station commander Jan Hoffman said a woman made an emergency call after she witnessed a boat carrying her family members capsize in the surf zone at Cape Vidal Beach.
The NSRI St Lucia duty crew responded to the NSRI St Lucia station 40 rescue base, where they dispatched the rescue vehicle towing the rescue craft JetRIB.
