WATCH: Transport MEC inspects Mzimkhulu River bridge repairs
The Mzimkhulu River bridge project is a little behind schedule. MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma conducted an inspection along with the speaker of Ugu, Sizwe Ngcobo and Ray Nkonyeni Municipality mayor, Zodwa Mzindle earlier today. Duma's surprise visit was to ascertain the project's progress. The resident engineer, Vusi Dlamini, said they are not too far behind, they need to complete the investigation on the pillars. Dlamini also mentioned that due to last week's weather, they had difficulties because of the high tides. Duma told the contractor to make it a point that he prioritises this project because of the road closure, and the timeframe given to the public to use the N2.

Hooked on fishing: Fishing frenzy hits coast
The coastline has delivered a surge of wild fishing action after the arrival of the sardines two weeks ago. Anglers are busy, both in the day and at night, with reports of sharks to offshore giants including giant trevally (GT), salmon, garrick, cuta and shad on the bite from Umkomaas to Port Edward. The Sardine Run has forced the KZN Sharks Board to remove the shark nets along the coast. Well done to Musa Msani who caught a giant GT at Umzumbe flats last week. Musa used live shad bait and it took about 35 minutes to land his prize catch. Camryn Naidoo of Umkomaas also landed a good size GT at 'The Block' in Port Shepstone on Monday this week. He used a Shimano Stradic 14000 with 40lb braid and 4/0 back-to-back land it hooks, and used an Assassin Bluefish rod. Also, Camryn has his own YouTube channel – Unfiltered. Catch up on his and his team's adventures and learn all the tips and techniques. It's exciting times, but remember safety first. Swimming remains banned from Port Edward to Isipingo until further notice. Tide times: Saturday, June 14: High 05:16; Low 11:29; High 17:46; Low 23:52; best fishing 16:12 to 17:14.
