Family in agony as Durban drowning victim still not recovered after Blue Lagoon tragedy.

A tragic drowning in Durban has left a family in shock, searching for answers and still without closure over a week after the incident.

For Sizwe Mhlongo, who lives in New Zealand, the distance has become an unbearable gap measured not in kilometres, but in silence and uncertainty.

His younger brother, Nkanyiso Vidima, 25, drowned at Blue Lagoon beach on Friday, May 8, along with another young man.

Vidima and others were attending a Shembe prayer gathering at the beach before the situation turned fatal.
