South Africa’s beautiful and popular beaches have always been a draw for locals and tourists, especially during the summer and holiday seasons.
‘This is the organization’s seventh award from the IMRF, having previously been a runner-up for their water safety lessons for children in 2016, theIngram recounted an emotional rescue earlier this year when a Beach Safety Camera at Strand Beach played a pivotal role in saving the life of a young boy, Matthew, aged 10.
Lezhae, who was the on-duty camera operator at the NSRI’s Emergency Operations Centre , described that day as relatively busy when she noticed someone in distress before lifeguards had started their duty. Ingram further revealed that the NSRI has plans to expand this lifesaving project to additional areas, with the goal of installing more cameras in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal early next year.
