Willie Aucamp, minister van Bosbou, Visserye en die Omgewing (DFFE), het gelas dat alle app\u00e8lle van kleinskaalse vissers teen besluite van die gedelegeerde owerheid oor die toewysing van die Totale Toegepaste Ekwivalent (TAE) in die tradisionele lynvissektor, met prioriteit afgehandel moet word teen Donderdag 5 Maart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit was in reaksie op die ho\u00eb volume app\u00e8lle wat ontvang is. Die groot hoeveelheid aansoeke het die dringendheid en erns van hierdie sake uitgelig, met die huidige toewysings wat op Saterdag 28 Februarie verval. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierdie tydlyn neem in ag dat die voorgeskrewe tydperk van 30 dae vir die indiening van app\u00e8lle teen die besluite van die gedelegeerde owerheid oor die tradisionele lynvis op Maandag 2 Maart verval. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aucamp se opdrag is ook daarop gemik om te verseker dat elke app\u00e8l deeglik, wettiglik en op ‘n wyse oorweeg word wat die departement se verbintenis tot billikheid, verantwoordbaarheid en die volhoubare gebruik van Suid-Afrika se mariene hulpbronne weerspie\u00ebl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Hilda Adams, voorsitter van die Weskus Kleinskaalse Vissersforum, het 14 lede van die Weskus Kleinskaalse-forum app\u00e9lle ingedien. Adams weet nie wat die uitkoms van die app\u00e9lle gaan wees nie en beskryf dit as ‘n\u00a0senutergende ervaring juis omdat baie kleinskaalse vissers heeltemal van die see afhanklik is met geen ander inkomste nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Met ‘n toekenning waar meer as 20\u00a0ko\u00f6perasies nie bote gaan kry nie, sal baie vissers nie kan voortbestaan nie. Dit gaan ‘n negatiewe impak h\u00ea op ons lewens. Werkloosheid en armoede gaan toeneem en ons weet nie wat die ander nagevolge nog kan wees nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dit is ‘n kringloop van negatiewe nagevolge. Ons vissers gaan krepeer en dit is hartseer omdat baie vissers in kleinbote bel\u00ea het.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams meen dit is ook ‘n hartseer situasie om te dink dat ‘n stelsel so iets aan tradisies doen wat al vir eeue in werking is.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ons moet heeltyd veg en die besluit is teenstrydig teen die beleid wat ons ontvang het, dit is teenstrydig met die regulasies en die ondersteuning wat die departement vir ons as kleinskaalse vissers belowe het. Daar is net geen transformasie nie. Hoekom moet ons so gestraf word deur die regeringstelsel wat ons nie betrek in besluite nie?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aucamp s\u00ea hy verstaan die frustrasie en onsekerheid wat hierdie besluite vir kleinskaalse vissers geskep het en wil hulle verseker dat hul bekommernisse met empatie en erns benader word. “Tog vereis goeie regering noukeurige, wettige besluitneming. Ons sal getrou bly aan daardie verpligting terwyl ons so vinnig as moontlik werk om die probleem op te los.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die departement s\u00ea voorts hulle is bewus daarvan dat die app\u00e8lle belangrike kwessies opper rakende die prosedurele billikheid van die besluitnemingsproses, die redelikheid van die uitkomste, en die potensi\u00eble implikasies vir die lewensbestaan \u200b\u200ben sosio-ekonomiese welstand van kleinskaalse vissersgemeenskappe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aucamp erken ook die druk waarmee kleinskaalse vissers te kampe het en die belangrikheid van sekerheid vir kusgemeenskappe wie se lewensbestaan \u200b\u200bafhang van verantwoordelike toegang tot mariene hulpbronne. Terwyl die app\u00e8lproses die behoorlike administratiewe prosedure moet volg, is die departement daartoe verbind om die assesserings so doeltreffend moontlik af te handel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alle betrokke belanghebbendes word aangemoedig om geduldig te bly terwyl die departement die wetlik vereiste stappe volg om te verseker dat die kwessies wat geopper word, behoorlik ge\u00ebvalueer word. Die departement voeg by dat hulle sal voortgaan om opdaterings te verskaf soos die app\u00e8lproses vorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams meen DFFE is besig om kleinskaalse vissers se tradisie, voortbestaan en nalatenskap dood te maak en dit is krities dat die app\u00e9lproses se uitkoms in hul guns moet tel. “Ons bid en hoop daarvoor, want wat anders moet die vissers doen?”\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
