Fishing rights dispute hots up | Weekend Argus

Cape Town - The Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries held a two-day summit this week ahead of the 2020 fishing rights allocation as the rights to 12 sectors in the industry are set to expire. Addressing the summit, Minister Senzeni Zokwana said it was important that the sector adopt a mining-type charter that could be used when rights are issued.

“I invite all those that have resources at their disposal to come forward with workable suggestions on how we can achieve substantive transformation in the sector without collapsing and jeopardising businesses and investments already made. “Small-scale fisheries will play a critical role in addressing food security and unemployment. It is at the best interest of the industry to embrace it and extend a helping hand to them.”
