Shark Chumming

On 5 April this year False Bay in Cape Town was the scene of a brutal shark attack which almost claimed the life of 16-year-old John Paul Andrew. The miracle boy should never have pulled through; the shark had bitten off his leg and, with blood draining out of his traumatised body, his heart had stopped beating for 35 minutes on the beach, and later for another five minutes at the Constantiaberg Medi-Clinic. We visited JP soon after his return home.
