The fishing industry, which contributes R6.7bn a year to the economy, has previously been hobbled by delays in the allocation of fishing rights and prolonged litigation

. Long-term rights for 12 commercial fisheries will be allocated by the department of agriculture, forestry and fisheries in 2020.

Earlier in 2019, agriculture, forestry and fisheries minister Senzeni Zokwana said his department was accelerating efforts to transform the multi-billion-rand fishing sector so it can also benefit small-scale fishermen and black-owned businesses. The association represents established operators in the industry. “It does not, in any way, compete for resources with small-scale fisheries because it fishes in deep, offshore waters that are inaccessible to small boats.

According to the report, historically disadvantaged persons currently hold approximately 66% of the equity in the firms harvesting 90% of the hake deep-sea trawl catch and the same or higher among the remaining smaller firms.
