Comment on this story


Cape Town - The body of a missing angler was found at Muizenberg on Sunday, the Cape Town disaster risk management centre said.

Shark spotters saw a body about 40 metres off-shore between Baileys Cottage and Surfers' Corner at Muizenberg, said spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johannes.

The city's marine unit, the police diving unit and the National Sea Rescue Institute began a search, but suspended it sunset on Saturday because of poor visibility.

The search resumed on Sunday and at 10.30am the body was found on rocks near Rocky Beach at Muizenberg, said Solomons-Johannes.

He said Premduth Parboo, 59, of Steenberg, was reported missing on Sunday. He was thought to have been washed off the rocks and drowned while angling on Saturday. - Sapa
