A well-known national seafood and meat outlet has taken a stance not to sell sardines until its suppliers can provide E coli-free clearance certificates.
Rescue worker Jace Govender used instinct and experience gained while volunteering after Cyclone Idai to co-ordinate lifesaving efforts during floods that devastated parts of Isipingo, south of Durban, earlier this year.
With the annual sardine run under way and the shark nets lifted, the sightings and catch and release of predators have increased over the past few days.
