On Friday afternoon, a devastating incident occurred at Marina Beach/Claptons when a man and his wife allegedly entered the sea wearing weight belts to perform aqua therapy. According to the husband, they were tied together as they entered the water. He explained that a strong current pushed them, causing his wife to lose her footing. While he managed to free himself from the weights, he was unable to assist his wife.

The beach is renowned for strong currents, backwash, and partially exposed rocks. It is difficult to describe it as a comfortable swimming beach, with so many safer options nearby. The couple were homeless. They  moved out of a rented cottage in JBay a little while ago when they ran out of money. The woman was on crutches and in a wheelchair. She needed a knee replacement, but the couple didn’t believe in doctors. So, aqua therapy was their option.

Missing Woman’s Body Found

In the early hours of the morning, the body of the missing woman was found by divers. A nearby fisherman was called to assist in bringing the body onto the beach. Marina Martinique’s security noticed lights on the beach and immediately investigated.

Exec Ops Protection Services responded swiftly, assisting SAPS and Pathology services in retrieving the body from the beach.

There has been much speculation around this tragedy. Social media bandits have been posing theories around what looks like a very suspicious set of circumstances.

Conspiracy Theories

According to The Herald on Monday, “Conspiracy theories, tens of thousands of rand stashed away in a cottage, a mysterious suitcase of documents that an attorney was supposed to fetch and the purchase a month ago of two weight belts. These are some of the elements that have emerged after a strange drowning incident off a beach on the south side of Jeffreys Bay on Friday.”
