At 09h52 on Saturday 7 January, NSRI Jeffreys Bay volunteer sea rescue duty crew were activated following reports of a multiple drowning in progress at the Ashton Bay Beach next to the Seekoei River Mouth.
NSRI Jeffreys Bay volunteer sea rescue crew launched a sea rescue craft and NSRI mobile units responded.
On arrival on-scene it was confirmed that a Grade 6 female learner from Pretoria had been rescued from the water by two bystanders, Pieter Kruger, from Benoni, on holiday in Jeffreys Bay and a local Jeffreys Bay business man, Glen Buchner.
(When all 3 people, the casualty and her two rescuers, were in the water it gave the impression to eye-witnesses that it was a multiple drowning incident).
The patient was treated for minor symptoms of near drowning and has been released into the care of her family in a satisfactory condition.
