We present the results of an unbiased survey to search for globular clusters around the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 5128. A total of 44 clusters has been identified on the basis of radial velocities alone. The cluster system appears to be flattened towards the major axis of the galaxy but does not show any dynamically significant rotation. There is a deficit of clusters in the core when compared with the power law density profile seen at large radii.
