The lifeguards working in Cape Town’s beaches are the true heroes of the season, tirelessly working to keep the beachgoers safe amidst the festive cheer. However, the recent drownings and nonlethal incidents remind us of the unseen dangers of beach fun, and the importance of adhering to safety regulations. The lifeguards’ undying spirit and innovative initiatives, such as the Identikidz project, showcase their commitment to public safety and serve as a reminder that safety is a communal responsibility.
