The fisheries sector has been a challenging and complex one, given the huge financial interests involved and the inevitable crime and corruption that accompany these interests have made it very difficult to manage this sector. But we have dramatically increased our capacity to combat illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing, and the department has launched an antipoaching project in the Western Cape, funded through the Working for Fisheries Programme. In the Overberg region 60 military veterans have been deployed to serve as the eyes and ears of government. Don't worry, these are Apla and MK nva comrades!
