According to Roscoe Jacobs, the ANC’s Johnson Mayeki Branch deputy chair, the body belongs to someone who worked at the harbour. He told IOL that the person is not from Hout Bay. ‘As far as I know, there are securities hired by the Department of Fisheries and cameras at the harbour, so it is rather concerning how that body ended up in the water with all those measures. Yes, the ordeal is not common in that area, and it should not have happened.’
Hout Bay Community Police Forum (CPF) chairperson Anthony Chemaly says the circumstances around the discovery of the body are not confirmed, agreeing that this type of incident is rare. The CPF is in communication with the South African Police Service for further information.
Anyone with information on the incident is kindly requested to call Crime Stop at 08600 10111.
