Rescuers saved five kayakers, including three German tourists, from cold waters off Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard after they became disoriented in thick fog and drifted more than a nautical mile offshore, prompting a swift response from the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI).



The drama unfolded on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, at about 8:50am, when one of the paddlers triggered an emergency alert through the NSRI’s SafeTRX safety app after the group lost its bearings at sea.
