South African hopes to find love in Lisdoonvarna

Irish men are queueing up to meet South African singleton Marleze Kruger, who has sold all her businesses and properties in her home country and travelled 13,000km to the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival in search of an Irish husband.

Ms Kruger arrived in Clare with her adult son last Saturday and has already had a number of meetings with single Irish men.

Indeed, the widow has a busy month ahead of her and has already been contacted by more than 20 suitors seeking a face to face meeting.
