Daily News reports that the body of a man washed up on a pier in Richards Bay on Saturday prompted speculation that it could be that of the missing KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board employee who went missing after the boat he was in capsized.
The body was taken away by authorities and has yet to be identified. Siyabonga Gabela, a KZN Sharks Board employee went missing a week ago when the boat he was in with four others capsized in rough seas. Two colleagues were rescued by lifeguards and survived the ordeal. Richard Gumede and Mandlakayise Gumede tragically died. The crew were carrying out routine shark net servicing when huge waves tipped the boat over. Mike Anderson Reade, KZN Sharks board spokesperson, said the body had not yet been identified and so he could not comment. A source said that the body was badly decomposed.
