Суурбраак
South Africa

A recent and compelling observation took place in a small village in Suurbraak, in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Aldo Pecker  reported in the New Zealand Herald:

Villager Daniel Cupido said he and his friends were near the river at about 23:30 when they heard something like someone "hitting the wall." Cupid went to the sound and found a figure "similar to the figure of a white woman with long black hair, who is beating in the water."

Cupid said that he tried to help the woman, but the woman made a "strange sound", which Dina, Cupid's mother, said was so sad, "my heart couldn't stand it". The creatures are described as Kaaiman, or half-human-half-fish, living in deep reservoirs.

Suurbraak tourism officer Maggie Jantjis said she knew the people who saw Kaayman well and that they did not abuse alcohol, and vouches for the group's credibility.

Original news

2008 BY DANIEL CUPIDO

A recent and convincing sighting happened in a small village in Suurbraak which is in the Western Cape of South Africa. Aldo Pekeur reported, in the paper for New Zealand Herald:

A resident of the village, Daniel Cupido, said he and his friends were next to the river around 11:30 p.m. when they heard something like someone “bashing on a wall.” Cupido went toward the sound, and found a figure “like that of a white woman with long black hair thrashing about in the water”.

Cupido said he tried to help the woman but the woman made “the strangest sound,” which Dina, Cupido’s mother, said was so sorrowful “my heart could take it no more.” The creatures are described as Kaaiman, or half-human and half fish creatures living in deep pools.

Suurbraak tourism officer Maggy Jantjies said she knew the people who saw the Kaaiman well, and that they did not misuse alcohol and vouched for the credibility of the group.
