Rescue teams are continuing the search for 18-year-old matriculant Rikus Kylander, who disappeared while snorkelling at Ponta do Ouro Beach earlier this week.
Search efforts are still ongoing for the 18-year-old from Krugersdorp who went missing in Mozambique earlier this week.
Hoërskool Noordheuwel matriculant Rikus Kylander was last seen on December 18 after going snorkelling with friends at Ponta do Ouro Beach, Krugersdorp News reports.
According to his sister, Clarise Kylander, search efforts have continued since his disappearance.
“There is no news yet on his whereabouts,” she said on December 20.
She added that the family has since stepped back from the search and has left the operation in the hands of the South African Sea Rescue Institute.
According to Clarise, Rikus went snorkelling with a group of friends. When the group got out of the water, they realised Rikus was no longer with them and immediately alerted lifeguards and the police.
Rikus is about 180cm tall, with a muscular yet slim build and brown hair. He was last seen wearing a blue swimming costume.
