Durban - It took three days, but “by the grace of God, we swam until we reached the shore”.
That was said by stowaways Hassani Rajabu, 24, and Amiri Sarumu, 20, who survived those three days at sea in March after being chucked overboard in South African waters by the captain and crew of a Chinese vessel.
Rajabu and Sarumu pleaded guilty in the Durban Magistrate’s Court yesterday to being in South Africa illegally and for stowing away on a vessel in Durban harbour in March.
