Diver drowns in ECape

Port Elizabeth - A diver died during a fishing expedition in Algoa Bay on Friday, Eastern Cape police reported on Saturday.

Captain Funisile Phillips said that the man, who would not be identified until his next-of-kin were informed, was one of a team of four divers based at Jeffrey's Bay who were fishing near Brenton Island around 11:00 when he went missing.

His three companions searched the seabed for an hour until they found the man's body.

Phillips said an inquest docket was opened and the exact cause of death would be determined by a post-mortem which would be conducted at the Port Alfred police mortuary.

PeggySven says... Maybe I missed something in Jacob Zuma's speech, but as far as I remember he did not have any immediate plans for, how did the ex premier put it? "What is worrying me a lot about this speech is that the premier did not speak about what is happening today in terms of poverty," ANC leader in the provincial legislature Lynne Brown said after the address. "How are we going to combat poverty today in this province? What are we going to do to get rid of inequalities?" She also said that the speech lacked vision as Zille had failed to mention how many government houses were to be built. I would have thought that as the budget for housing is allocated by central government, Provincial government can only build as many houses as they have money to build. What is even funnier is the fact that in every other province there is rampant corruption and lack of delivery, whereas in the Western Cape Service Delivery is rolled out as fast as the budget allows and 100% of the housing budget is spent every year with a clean audit report. Not heard of in any other province in South Africa. What a joke the CancER politicians are. Read the article...
