A Johannesburg man saved the life of a Stellenbosch swimmer at Gordon's Bay beach in the Western Cape on Saturday.

The National Sea Rescue Institute said Good Samaritans JD Siecker and his girlfriend Kim Nast, from Johannesburg, were swimming at Gordons Bay beach at about 3.15pm on Saturday when they noticed two men in difficulty.

“JD managed to pull one man up from under water and rescue him to the beach. Kim had run down the beach to alert lifeguards.” Alan Meiklejohn, NSRI Gordons Bay station commander said when Siecker went back to assist the second man, he had disappeared under water. “JD alerted a bystander on the beach, Neal de Wit, who contacted his friend Russel Human, of Disaster Risk Management, who was off duty and the alarm was raised.”
