The Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Tina-Joemat-Petterson has extended the process for the distribution of fishing rights application form for additional fourteen days. 

The department said the extended process is to make sure that applicants are assisted in understanding how to correctly complete the forms. 

Deputy Director General Desmond Stevens said the areas have been expanded and extended for everyone to be able to apply for these fishing rights.

Stevens added that they will also assist people in filling those forms and every one has an opportunity to apply for these rights because it is a national resource.
