A search continued on Thursday for a 22-year-old man who went missing while swimming at Far Eastern Beach along the False Bay coast, the NSRI said.

“A police dive unit will continue in an ongoing search operation for the missing man who is feared to have drowned,” National Sea Rescue Institute spokesman Craig Lambinon said in a statement.

On Thursday morning, various emergency officials began searching for the man from Khayelitsha using a police helicopter, rescue craft, jet-ski, and swimmers. SAPA
