Tongai Matandirotya,who works at Brass Bell Restaurant near Cape Town,left behind his
own safety to dive into the cold Atlantic ocean to rescue a mother and daughter swept off the pier
(长是)by a sudden wave.
It was a relatively calm day in the fishing village of Kalk Bay.Several people were walking
by the window of Brass Bell looking out to the water.Then the scene changed.
"I saw this wave come over the harbor and cover the people.dragging them into the ocean.I
immediately ran outside,undressed myself,and dived into the water because I saw a child go in as
well."Tongai said.
37-year-old Clair Gardiner and her 8-year-old daughter Arya were the people swept away by
the wave.Gardiner knew they were being pulled into the water as soon as the wave rushed over
them,and she managed to wrap her arms around little Arya
By now Tongai had dropped the drink he was pouring.taken off his belt and jumped into the
water-followed by a tourist unnamed by the news reports.By then the ferocious waves.even just
a few meters from shore,had pulled Gardiner and Arya apart.Tongai used his belt to rescue Arya
who wasn't able to stay afloat by herself.
"I recently went to the restaurant to thank him,"Gardiner told local news."My daughter
recognized him immediately,and we all embraced each other.We are so thankful to Tongai and
the tourist man who risked their lives to save ours,we'll forever be grateful to them."
Tongai noticed he had been badly scratched up by the concrete wall of the pier,but he didn't
care about it.Brass Bell congratulated their man on Facebook,saying they were "so proud"of
him,with several comments adding reminders to"tip him well"
