Two men were rescued at St Lucias Main Beach on the east coast of KwaZulu-Natal after getting caught in rip currents during Tuesdays spring tide.
Melinda Snyman, NSRI St Lucia station commander said their crew responded to reports of a drowning at Main Beach, St Lucia just after 3.30pm.
On arrival we found one man had been rescued from the surf zone by a male Good Samaritan, believed to be a work colleague of the man in distress, Snyman said.
