police divers are searching the waters of Umzumbe Beach for a 13-year-old boy
who's believed to have drowned.

Sea rescuers, the NSRI, say the boy and four others were swimming at the south coast beach on Sunday, when they began to struggle.
"A search continued for the missing teenager but despite extensive search efforts there remains no signs of the teenager who had disappeared underwater after reportedly being swept off a sand bank by waves and then caught in rip currents," says spokesperson Craig Lambinon.
He says two of those in distress were the teen's family members who had tried to rescue him.
