Kleinmond tragedy: Search for missing fishermen enters 3rd day
NATIONAL NEWS - The search for three fishermen who went missing after their boat sank near Kleinmond in the Western Cape is now in its third day.

Initially, the Viking Fishing Company confirmed the life jackets of two of the three missing fishermen were found and they were presumed dead.

Authorities however say they’ll continue searching for the three fishermen.

The trawler with 21 people on board ran into trouble on Sunday night.

The company says counselling has been made available to the nine survivors and the families of the deceased.
