Man drowns near Durban

Durban - A KwaZulu-Natal man drowned near Durban on Thursday afternoon, paramedics said.

Netcare 911 said the man, believed to be in his 40s, drowned shortly after entering the water at Warner Beach, south of Durban.

The man, a local resident from the nearby Llovu township, was pulled from the water by lifesavers who desperately tried to resuscitate him.

However he was declared dead shortly after paramedics arrived on the scene and their efforts had also failed.

The man's two young daughters, believed to be aged 10 and 11 years, watched as lifeguards and paramedics battled in vain to save the man's life.

Police spokesperson Superintendent Danelia Veldhuizen confirmed the incident, saying that an inquest docket would be opened shortly.

ljibucher says... Heiku - banning the breed will not solve the problem - pitbulls are simply one breed, their are numerous power breed dogs that have the potential to be dangerous. Then we should ban pitties, bull terriers, boerboels, rotties, cane corsos etc etc - any dog that has the potential to cause severe damage in an attack. Responsible ownership is key here - not breed banning. It also needs to be noted in your 'in depth, factually based research' - the stats for the USA list pitbulls as 'any dog that may appear to be a pitbull, pitbull cross, or pitbull type dog' - most of the time people dont even know what a pitbull looks like. The pitbull was bred to have animal prey drive, not human. In fact - handlers have to be able to step into dog fights and remove their dogs without their dogs turning them, even when they are engaged in a fight. Where you come up with 'Until they do what they have been bred to do and kill someone. Then your friends are not so awesome anymore.' - god knows - no history shows them being bred as human killers . You are free to your own opinion - however - do a little more research and get the whole picture, not just the bit thats that you 'like'. Read the article...
