Surfer bitten to death by shark at South African Beach (Graphic photos)

South African killed by shark in attack at world's deadliest beach.

A 25-year-old surfer, Lungisani Msungubana, was killed a few days ago by a shark on one of the world’s most dangerous beaches, after being repeatedly bitten as he rode the waves off Second Beach in Port St. Johns.

According to witnesses, Lungisani had wrestled with the shark, believed to be the very aggressive bull shark, for more than five minutes as the water turned red around him. The surfer, who was in water which was only around a metre and a half deep, was bitten on both of his arms and his stomach and he sadly died on the way to the hospital.

The incident was the sixth fatal shark attack in just five years at the beach, which lies beside the Indian Ocean in South Africa's rural Eastern Cape province. Continue to see more (graphic) photos...
