Sardines cover the sand at Hout Bay beach on Sunday 20 November 2011.
The sardine run was an unusual occurrence for Cape Town.
A run occurs when the water temperature drops, causing millions of sardines to swim to shore.
Most of those catching sardines on Hout Bay beach were fishermen, who would use the fish as bait.
Spreading for kilometres into the ocean, some people choose to go further into the sea to make their catch.
Piet Byleveld says he is very close to figuring out a motive in the Inge Lotz murder case.
Public Protector Thuli Madonsela says she gives equal treatment to every case she receives.
Helen Zille says that Cosatu's Zwelinzima Vavi is trying to take over the tripartite alliance.
