The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) reported that lifeguards attempted resuscitation on-site before airlifting the girls to the hospital.
NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon shared, “It appears that a group of children from Khayelitsha, at the beach with carers, were swimming in the tidal pool when the two girls were discovered to be floating in the water unresponsive.
“On behalf of all services involved, condolences are conveyed to the family and friends of the deceased child.”
While the 13-year-old has tragically succumbed to her injuries, the 12-year-old continues to receive treatment.
Our hearts go out to the family and friends during this difficult time.
