Sharks coach John Plumtree says that Western Province labeling the hosts as favourites for this Saturday’s Currie Cup final is nonsense. Really?

Sharks, particularly Great Whites, have a pretty bad rep. The apex predators are often labelled as man-eaters based on a handful of out of context events. Photographer Daniel Botelho spent two weeks with the ancient beasts and returned with what he calls “definitive proof” that they don’t deserve the label or association.

Just after midday on Saturday, at Camps Bay, hundreds of surfers paddled out into the bay to celebrate the life of David Lilienfeld. He passed away last week after being bitten by a shark at Koegel bay. Sea Rescue boats from Bakoven and Table Bay were also there on behalf of the NSRI. See a full gallery of the very moving event after the jump.
The City of Cape Town has released its official report on the fatal shark attack that claimed the life of bodyboarder, David Lilienfeld, 20, on Thursday at Kogel Bay, “Caves”, near Gordons Bay. In it, the City concluded that the tagging of False Bay sharks for a documentary could not be directly linked to the attack.
Yesterday bodyboarder David Lilienfeld suffered fatal injuries after being attacked by a shark near Cape Town. On the same day, several international websites also happened to run a feature on Andre Hartman, South Africa’s “Shark Whisperer”. Pictures of Hartman placing his hand on the snout of a great white shark and “putting it in a trance” were the main focus. See them inside.
South Africans have reacted with shock and disbelief over the tragic passing of bodyboarder David Lilienfeld earlier today. He suffered fatal injuries at popular surfing spot, Koeël Bay, near Gordons Bay. A 2oceansViber alerted us to a recent video, featuring David and some of his friends. Watch it inside.
Earlier this month we told you about National Geographic shooting a shark documentary in Cape Town – with the support of the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. But yesterday Dirk Schmidt, author of “White Sharks”, has called for the immediate issuing of a high shark alert – saying the filming is attracting sharks to Cape Town’s popular beaches.
Chris Fischer is an American documentary maker whose program, Shark Men, is in the Cape tagging Great White sharks along our coastline. A group opposed to this have lodged a complaint with the Department of Environmental Affairs, claiming the “research” Fischer conducts might make good TV, but is damaging to the sharks. Both sides of the story, after the jump!
Environmental planning authorities in sleepy Fish Hoek on the False Bay coast are reconsidering the installation of an exclusion net across the bay adjacent to the town, to try stave off the regular loitering of Great White sharks near the popular beach front.
It’s as simple as that, gang. I just looked at SA’s hottest sports betting site (here) and they are giving 20 to 1 odds, if Stormers draw first blood with a drop goal against the Sharks on Saturday (SUPER 15). Do you realise how easy it is for that to happen? Shit, I might even […]
No shark cage, spear guns or knives. Just cameras. That’s how photographer William Winram rolls. His business card reads “Shark Publicist”, and he is on a quest to debunk the bad reputation that sharks have gained. With these incredible images he wants to show that our natural fear has been blown far out of proportion due to a couple of unfortunate accidents.
Pictures of a “cyclops shark” , taken in Mexico, appeared online recently. Too strange to be true, it was quickly written off as a hoax. Until now. Scientists have revealed that it is in fact a 22-inch-long dusky shark fetus. It has a single, functioning eye that’s front and centre on its head.

Confirmed!
The Sharks will be playing their game against the Crusaders at Twickenham on March 27.
I told you last week that the English Rugby Football Union (RFU) had said no to hosting the Super 15 game between the Sharks and Crusaders at Twickenham in the wake of 6,5 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch. But now it seems that the RFU may have had a change of heart.
