south pier access in Richards bay

yes ,you need a special transnet permit to enter the port and a key to get to south pier gate
unfortunately you have missed the annual draw, ,it was held late November i think in rbay at a church hall - it was advertised in the local newspaper

the draw usually takes places early in the morning , where you put your name in the box and the south pier committee randomly pick out 100 names   

a  pensioner or a person older than 60 can get a south pier permit anytime
 (I think its free for pensioners, cant remember)

the permit is only valid for 1 year only

I used to have a permit for south pier up until 4 years ago ,I stopped rock and surf fishing  ,i only fish deepsea now

when days are dark...Fish are few ...Tag it, or bag it.
Sharks swim slow before they attack.
Smile and Sail... or Frown and Drown.
