The search for the missing French under-18 rugby player, Medhi Narjissi, is continuing in Cape Town.
Narjissi was swept away by a rip current while swimming with teammates at Diaz Beach, Cape Point, about a week ago. The young athlete, who played as a centre for the Toulouse team, was in South Africa as part of a rugby tour.
In the wake of this tragic incident, France has withdrawn from the U18 International Series. The decision underscores the gravity of the situation and the focus on locating Narjissi.
