Speaker, Mr President, I would like to highlight something - illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing is estimated to cost sub- Saharan Africa approximately one billion dollars a year.
As a result of the dangers of sailing through the Gulf of Aden waterway, more and more ships are sailing through South African waters, past the point of Africa, en route to Europe. This makes South Africa extremely susceptible to organised crime and exploitation of our environmental resources. How does the President plan to deal with these matters and threats? Thank you.
