De Beers Marine visit NSRI Hout Bay:

On Friday, 17 May 2013 we had the privilege of hosting some of the employees of De Beers Marine, a long term corporate supporter of Sea Rescue’s, at our base in Hout Bay. It was the most perfect day for a tour of the base followed by a short trip on Hout Bay’s deep sea rescue craft Nadine Gordimer.They were all overwhelmed by the fact that all our search and rescue operations are carried out by volunteers and, in the words of Thandi Mabena, HR Manager at De Beers Marine “It was a most humbling experience to discover that there are still such good people out there willing to give up their time and risk their lives to save others.” Spencer Oldham, Yusuf Gamiet of Jardine Marine Services, Justice Xesha of De Beers Marine, Lyall Pringle, Celeste Erwee of De Beers Marine, Cherelle Leong, Thandi Mabena of De Beers Marine and Carmen Long.
