The bodies of two teen rugby players washed up on shore earlier this morning, according to police in Durban, KZN. The couple, who were in the area for a schools tournament, were 17 and 18 years old at the time of the drowning, and the occurrence has left the local community in shock.

What we know about the victims of the Durban tragedy thus far.
