Vissers kry vangsregte<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nDie departement van omgewing, bosbou en visserye het verlede Dinsdag (14 November) amptelike visvangregte aan kleinskaalse vissers vir die volgende 15 jaar toegeken \u2013 n\u00e1 jare se gesloer. Toekenning moes aanvanklik ter syde gestel word toe die Wes-Kaapse hooggeregshof in 2016 beslis het die toekenningsproses van minister Barbara Creecy was gebrekkig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vissers in die provinsie moes toe w\u00e9\u00e9r aansoek doen vir hul regte en die proses is van voor af begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNou moet elke visser deel wees van \u2019n ko\u00f6perasie. Daar is ko\u00f6perasies in Hopefield, Vredenburg, Laaiplek, Paternoster en drie hier in St. Helenabaai. Die departement dwing vissers om deel van ko\u00f6perasies te wees, maar ons het nie die nodige infrastruktuur om dit te laat werk nie,\u201d meen visser John Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creecy het verlede week verduidelik die toekenning van regte beteken die vissersko\u00f6perasies sal werkskepping en ekonomiese ontwikkeling in vissersgemeenskappe bevorder. Daarmee saam sal dit voedselsekerheid ondersteun en beteken tradisionele vissers sal nie meer vervolg word nie, omdat hulle nou visvangregte het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoe en van waar die nodige infrastruktuur soos geboue en koelkamers of yskaste vandaan sal kom, is onduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vissers en die ko\u00f6perasie is een<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nVolgens die departement se voorskrifte moet kleinskaalse vissers deel van \u2019n ko\u00f6perasie wees om vis te mag vang. Geen kleinskaalse visser mag as individu vang nie, en daarom moet ko\u00f6perasies aansoek doen om spesifieke spesies te vang, en saam maak hierdie spesies die vissers se \u201cmandjie\u201d op. Vissers in die ko\u00f6perasie moet dan saamwerk om uiteindelik vis te vang, dit te verwerk, te verpak en te verkoop. Die departement se doel is om uiteindelik \u2019n waardeketting te skep sodat vissers se inkomste meer volhoubaar is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thompson en Jordaan s\u00ea hoewel dit \u2019n goeie model is, is die werklikheid anders. \u201cOns het twee dae se opleiding by diensverskaffers ontvang, maar hoe kan ons alles in twee dae inneem? Dit is konsepte waarmee baie vissers nog nooit te doen gehad het nie,\u201d verduidelik Thompson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy voeg by die sessies is boonop in Engels aangebied, terwyl die meeste plaaslike vissers Afrikaanssprekend is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benewens die riglyne om die ko\u00f6perasies te bestuur, het verskeie staatsinstansies ook aanbiedinge gedoen oor hoe en waar om vir finansiering aansoek te doen, maar volgens Jordaan was di\u00e9 beamptes dit eens \u2013 daar is nie \u2019n bestaande model om kleinskaalse vissers te help nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie hele [ko\u00f6perasie-model] is doodgebore. Jy het hier te doen met mense wat van 11 jaar oud af op die see was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creecy het op haar beurt ges\u00ea deel van die ondersteuning wat die departement sal bied, is 62 mentors \u2013 een per ko\u00f6perasie \u2013 wat sal help. Die mentorskap sal vir drie jaar geld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Stukkende mandjie<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nKo\u00f6perasies het sedertdien terugvoer ontvang oor die mandjie wat hulle mag vang. Die vissermanne verduidelik egter di\u00e9 toekennings is sinneloos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns [in St. Helenabaai] is goedgekeur vir perlemoen, maar hier is nie genoeg vir \u2019n ko\u00f6perasie om by baat te vind nie. M\u00f4re, oorm\u00f4re word die spesies dan op \u2019n rooilys geplaas, want die getalle neem af. Steenberg\u2019s Cove se ko\u00f6perasie is goedgekeur vir tuna pole<\/em>, (wat met \u2019n stok gevang word) maar dit vang jy net in die diep see. \u201cKleinskaalse vissers word beperk tot 3 seemyl van die kus af. S\u00ea jy nou hoe ons dan tuna pole <\/span>kan vang? Hoe verwag hulle ons moet sardyn met \u2019n lyn vang?\u201d wil Thompson weet. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAnder spesies waarvoor aansoek gedoen is en wat volgens die plaaslike vissers volhoubaar gevang kan word, is deur die departement afgekeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Carmelita Mostert van Saldanha voel vissers in di\u00e9 dorp baie dieselfde. \u201cOns het dit uitgewerk met die kreef. Dit is \u2019n ho\u00ebgehalte spesie, maar wanneer jy dit uitwerk, kry elke visser uiteindelik sowat R3 900 aan die einde van die maand. Hoe kan \u2019n gesin daarvan leef?\u201d, wil sy weet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benewens die inkomste wat elke visser ontvang, moet 5% van die ko\u00f6perasie se inkomste in die rekening bly vir die ko\u00f6perasie se voortbestaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elke visser moet eenmalig R200 vir hul toetrede tot die ko\u00f6perasie betaal en moet ook jaarliks R1 200 betaal as lid van \u2019n ko\u00f6perasie. \u201cDit neem nie eens brandstof, lewenskostes en inflasie in ag nie. Hierdie mense sit in \u2019n kantoor en maak besluite. Hulle moet in \u2019n bootjie kom klim en sien hoe vissers hul brood verdien. Ek dink die minister sal huil as sy die werklikheid moet sien,\u201d meen Mostert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pad vorentoe<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nDie volgende stap vir ko\u00f6perasies is nou om hul goedgekeurde spesielyste van die departement te onderteken. Hierna sal die ko\u00f6perasies \u2019n vergadering moet hou om hul permanente bestuur te verkies. Die forum meen egter ko\u00f6perasies moet twee keer dink voor hulle die lyste goedkeur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTerwyl hierdie lyste nog by ons l\u00ea, het ons die mag. Die oomblik wat ons teken, keur ons die onvolhoubare mandjie goed en dan sit ons weer waar ons was,\u201d meen Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intussen beplan vissers om \u2019n betoging oor hul griewe te hou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
