ZULULAND’s fishermen were out in full force this past weekend, to participate in the annual 21 Species Fishing Festival.

The competition was held at the Meerensee Boat Club, where crowds of people flocked in for the fun and activity.

Richards Bay’s scorching sun added to the event’s success and concluded on Sunday with the prize giving.
