This is a look at an important fishing community the world forgot. The Durban Seine-netters were Indian Indentured labourers who turned their back on sugar cane farming, just five years after arriving in Natal (1860). They turned to the sea for their livelihood. By 1900 they had established the first community fishing industry in Southern Africa. But throughout their years they were dogged by racial discrimination until finally in 1963, after a century of fishing, the Apartheid Group Areas Act forced them to leave their fishing grounds for good.
