Beaches in South Africa's Cape Town have been closed down following a fatal shark attack.

A 37-year-old man was attacked by a Great White shark 20 metres from the shore at Fish Hoek, a popular holiday spot.

Emergency workers are still searching for the body of the Zimbabwean tourist.

Witnesses say the man was thrown out of the water by the force of the strike.

It is South Africa's second deadly shark attack in less than a month.
