News24 reports that the KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board has confirmed that a decomposed body found floating off a beach in Richards Bay on Saturday is that of their missing employee, Siyabonga Gabela.  

A memorial service will be held on Thursday.  Gabela was one of three employees who drowned when their boat capsized during a shark net inspection at Richards Bay's Newark Beach on 8 August.  Boat skipper Richard Gumede, and another colleague Mandlakayise Gumede, were buried this past weekend.  Their colleagues Eric Buthelezi and Sqiniseko Ngobese survived the horrific incident.  The Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs said the board had not had a fatal boat accident since it was formed more than 60 years ago.
