VIDEO: Man attempts to swim across Likoni channel due to ferry delay

Following a two-hour delay at the Likoni channel on Wednesday, one man decided to swim across the channel presumably because he was getting late.

However, his efforts were thwarted halfway by rescue divers who were on a boat.

The delay in ferry operations inconvenienced many people who needed to cross to the mainland and vice-versa as efforts to recover a vehicle that sunk at the channel were stepped up.
