The Democratic Alliance welcomed the ruling
to grant line fishermen indefinite fishing exemption.
The judgement by the Western Cape High court comes
following the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries botched rights
allocation process earlier this year.
DA Deputy MP of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries Pieter van Dalen said it is clear that Minister Tina
Joemat-Pettersson lacks the political will to create employment within her
sector.
“This is in huge victory for the poor
fisherman that’s stoods up to the bullying and arrogant Minister Tina
Joemat-Pettersson who admitted that the authority has made it irrational decisions.
he ultimately has to take responsibility for
this botched allocation process and we will continue our fight for the rights of
these fishermen and keeping the minister to account” Van Dalen.
