Video footage of KZN and Transkei flooding

Not so cool at all

Video footage of KZN and Transkei flooding

Video footage of KZN and Transkei flooding : Thank you to all the contributors for sending in the videos used to compile this roundup of visuals from some of the more spectacular spots.

A video roundup of flood conditions at a few places up and down the KZN and Transkei coastline.

Uvongo Falls looks like Niagra. ALL the rivers are flowing with many blind ones now burst through. The rainfall was intense enough near the coast to liberate these stagnant rivers this time round.

Holidaymakers are urged not to travel today. Many of the roads through and around Durban are closed or unusable. As you can see in the opening clip above.

Although this type of flood is a naturally occurring event that needs to happen every so often, there are definitely more and more adverse weather events happening here and worldwide. And they have more and more intensity. Speculation that these anomalies are caused by global warming is rife. And the points are sharp and valid.

Add all the plastic being hurtled towards out deep blue sea right now and we can identify that man really is making shit on this planet.

I apologise for going on and on about plastic pollution, but once again, check the video and the images that follow, to see where I am coming from each time.

It is only up to us, right at the first use of the plastic we use. It is going to require a huge mental shift and a monumental effort on all of our parts. BUT, we can, and really have to, make a difference.

The Sardine News teamed with NuStyle Steel Services in Johannesburg, and we now produce a plastic shredder good for the home or small business.

In the meantime, batten down the hatches!

Captain Duarte Rato submits and end of marlin season report from Bazaruto Island, filled with fantastic imagery and fishing stories. Tales of huge fish! Marlin over 1000lbs. Many just shy of the mark. Almost all marlin and sailfish are released by the highly trained and efficient team running the good boat Vamizi.

Bazaruto Big Fish Season ā€“ End Nov early Dec ā€˜17 reportĀ 

A few shots from this weeks gallery…(c) FishBazaruto

FishBazaruto have been taking bookings now already for next years marlin season, which can start as early as September. Depending on the prevailing winds. If the South Easter howls through winter and into spring, and then gives way to the very mild low-pressure systems that can come through as we move into summer, the season can extend for months each side of November.

Duarte spends the whole December with his family. Greta and two boys who are growing up fast. And then starts again in January and fished his home waters of Bazaruto a while longer, until he heads on off chasing marlin all about the globe.

Get in touch with Duarte via http://fishbazaruto.com and while you are there check through the archives of all his posts since 2011!

There is a video section, and so much interesting and relevant information about Bazaruto and its waters. Including a table referencing the best times for each fish regards season.
