Luyolo Mangele, 16, from the Mthumbane township in Port St Johns in South Africa was surfing Second Beach when he was attacked and died from injuries from what locals believe was a Tiger Shark, according to a story on Dispatch Online.
Vuyo Maza, a lifeguard for the Wild Coast Guards , was on duty at Second Beach when Mangele, a surfer, was attacked by the shark. “Everything happened so fast. We had people shouting ‘Shark! Shark!’ But when we got there the shark had already struck.”
Some say that local healers have been holding rituals at the beach that are attracting the sharks.
The healers allegedly throw raw meat and blood into the sea as part of their rituals. . . A lifeguard told the Daily Dispatch yesterday that on Friday – the day Mangele was killed – traditional healers were seen leaving the beach in the morning.
