The Citizen reports that the defence force chief General Solly Shoke has begun legal steps to have a soldier who presumably drowned while swimming in the sea at Port Shepstone three years ago declared dead.
Private Junior Ngwane of Soweto disappeared without a trace while he and fellow soldiers were swimming at Banana Beach on 6 August 2013 following a day of training. A board of inquiry in August 2013 found Ngwane had drowned.
