Meeting over fishing row
By TMG Editor - 14 May 2014
THE Eastern Cape Black Fishermen's Association met Department of Fisheries officials yesterday to discuss their grievances.
A week ago angry fishermen stormed the Fishery Compliance Office in Stanley Street, Richmond Hill, Port Elizabeth, throwing buckets of faeces onto the office floor while singing and dancing.
The association was unhappy with the slow transformation in the fishing industry and alleged fronting by other fishing rights owners.
