Cape Town’s beautiful beaches are mesmerizing under the full moon, but they can also be dangerous. Rip currents and sea swells intensify, posing a significant threat to swimmers. Lifeguards have been responding to incidents and executing rescue missions, but four fatal drownings have occurred outside of prescribed swimming areas and lifeguard hours since December. The city has launched the Identikidz project, tagging children for quick identification at the beach, and remains committed to safety and communal responsibility.
