Local authorities closed the surrounding beaches and advised residents not to enter the water. According to local media reports, the victim was a regular swimmer who was in the water with a group at the time of the attack. Other swimmers reportedly saw the tail and dorsal fin of a shark before the attack. The police were alerted around 7:00 AM and arrived at the scene where they found the woman with severe injuries. She did not survive her wounds. According to the 'International Shark Attack File' from the University of Florida, there were 65 unprovoked shark attacks worldwide last year, resulting in nine fatalities, one of which occurred in South Africa.
