A sombre scene met locals and beachgoers along Strand Beach early on Tuesday morning (10 December), when emergency services responded to a drowning in progress. Despite the rescue and efforts to resuscitate victim, a middle-aged man apparently with a heart condition, he was declared dead on the scene. According to bystanders the man was a regular at Strand Beach, where he often surfed close to the shore at his favourite spot. A crowd of onlookers gathered around the scene and expressed condolences to the family. Strand Beach has become increasingly busy over the past few weeks and is expected to get even busier in weeks ahead. Photo: Yaseen Gaffar
