Siphesihle Mkhize, Sibongakonke Masondo, Ntokozo Mnguni and Cebo Mngani, all pupils at NRS, fishing in the Under 13 group at the KZN Junior Trials on Saturday.

From these trials, a team to represent KZN will be chosen to represent the province at the SA Championships, to be held in December at Bloemhof Dam in the North West Province.

In very low water (Klipfontein is sitting at about 62% of its capacity), the fishing on Saturday morning was reported to be “very slow”, and the few fish caught were “on the small side”.

But the weather was perfect.
