Sardine Run 2025 Erupts - KZN REPORT (5 JUNE '25)

Loading player...
Here we go — the wait is over. The Sardine Run 2025 has officially burst into action along the KZN coast, shaking up the entire East Coast of South Africa. Icy currents are surging, baitfish are boiling to the surface, and chaos is in full swing. Gannets, dolphins, sharks, and thrill-seeking anglers are all chasing silver — and it’s only just begun.

This isn't just a migration — it's a stampede of marine madness.

From Port Edward to Durban, nets are flying, rods are bending, and no one saw it coming this early. With pilot shoals already hitting the coast and big game fish in tow, the buzz is real, and the action is everywhere.
