A joyous Christmas Day at Kleinbrak Beach turned tragic when a man drowned despite heroic rescue efforts by his friend and the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI). The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers lurking beneath the surf, and the importance of respecting the power of nature. Emergency services, including the Western Cape Government Health Emergency Medical Services, Mossel Bay Fire and Rescue services, ER24 ambulance services, and the South African Police Services, were summoned to the scene, but were unable to revive the man.
