An eyewitness to a shark attack at Muizenberg Beach said a man was bitten while swimming near Clovelley Corner on Wednesday afternoon.

Cape Town city officials said this apparently happened while a section of the beach was closed to the public.

The man is believed to be in a critical condition.

Cathy Ryan saw the drama unfold.

“He wasn’t too far in and then a really big great white shark just came and bit him. I think it tossed him around. One of his legs was bitten off,” she said.

F knows - you'd think the media could at least get the location correct before going to print.

Moral of the story - get out of the shark invested waters! You don't see them swimming in your pool do you ....

Ah - Clovelly Corner is nowhere near Muizenberg.

This is the same area where the woman was killed a few years back.

Well it's in the corner of a bay, so could be far out from the shore but close to the land on the side.

A swimmer who was attacked by a shark at Fish Hoek was in the water after shark spotters had closed the beach due to a shark sighting, the NSRI says.

Eish.
