Is this the most forboding, ominous title I've ever written? Probably.
Evidently, Port St. Johns lifeguard Sibulele Masiza disappeared recently. Shortly after he went missing, one of his fins -- complete with distinctive serrations -- washed ashore. According to Geremy Cliff, spokesperson for the Natal Sharks Board, "Judging by the circumstances of his disappearance and the flipper that was torn, it can only have been a tiger shark attack."
Unbelievably, the last reported shark attack in Port St. Johns was in 2004 -- on Masiza!
