Chairperson, I hereby give notice, on behalf of Cope, that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) debates the fact that the ANC's policy of cadre deployment is causing havoc within the Department of Fisheries, which now shares a Minister with Agriculture and Forestry;
2) notes that since late 2010 the department has had no fewer than four "acting" deputy directors-general with no prior experience in fisheries management;
3) further notes that most of the senior critical posts are filled by individuals with no skill and/or experience and who are merely "acting" in the position; and
4) calls on government to address this issue with great urgency.
