Shark Attack
Lifeguard attacked, killed by shark
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 21 December, 2009 : - - Horrified onlookers watched when a lifeguard on the Wild Coast was pulled off his paddling board by a shark and killed. Tshintshekile Nduva, 22, of Noqekwana village, Port St Johns, disappeared beneath the water at Second Beach, Port St Johns, at about 2.30pm on Friday. Police report none of Nduva’s remains had yet been found.
Lifeguard Abongile Maza, who was paddling a few metres behind Nduva, said the attack had been sudden and vicious, adding that the water turned blood red. “I could not believe what I saw with my own eyes, because it did not seem real,” he said.
Khaya Mjo Wild Coast Guards managing director said: “He was riding the waves on his knee board with another lifeguard who was riding from a distance. “The other lifeguard said he only heard him scream, then he saw him raise a hand and there was only blood.” The shark could not be identified because it was impossible to make an analysis without seeing the bite marks.
