Bodies of missing Port Elizabeth players recovered

Eastern Cape police divers on Friday recovered the bodies of three Motherwell Rugby Football Club players.

A strong rip current swept 21 young men out to sea at Blue Water Bay Beach on Sunday.

They had gone for a dip to cool off after a training session.

After rescuing 16 one was declared dead on scene, while five others were reported missing.

Police divers spokesperson Andre Beetge said, “Now we have recovered four bodies and there’s one outstanding. The search continues.”

On Monday, the Eastern Cape Rugby Union sent its condolences to the club.
