It’s not every day you see a giant elephant seal cruising through your neighbourhood, but that’s exactly what happened in Gordon’s Bay. 
On 5 Weekend Breakfast, Mike V chats to Blackie Swart, a local security guard who was one of the first on the scene when Gordy the elephant seal was spotted… not just on the beach, but in the streets.

Blackie recounts the unbelievable moment, the crowd it drew, and how this massive marine mammal turned a sleepy seaside town into a viral sensation overnight.
