South Africa gets many things wrong, but its policy on marine life is pretty good. Nowhere is this better shown than with sharks. Other countries slaughter sharks to the point of extinction - Seychelles is a good example. By and large we leave ours alone.
I grew up along these shores, swam there for decades, and never saw a shark.
They take a person or two a decade, but they are a national treasure.
But I would not take a dip right now:
