Eyewitness, Marius Klopper from Uvongo who was driving past in Finnis Road, said he saw the half-naked woman run across the road, down to the rocks and jump. “It happened so fast. I managed to stop a traffic official and alerted the lifeguards,” he said.
An official statement is awaited from Margate police.
