The inland small-scale fisheries sector has long been marginalized and undermined despite its important socio-cultural and economic contribution to rural livelihoods as well as the role it plays in ensuring food and nutrition security at the local level. The sector is extremely complex and diverse due to the colonial and apartheid history of South Africa, but also due to the resulting present-day constructs of power in the narratives on biodiversity conservation and the ways in which they impact on access rights of fishers to traditional fishing grounds. To date, freshwaters remain the only natural resource whose management has not gone through a reform post-1994. This results in a situation where those fishing for food, livelihoods, and income do not have a legal right to fish, and are forced to fish with recreational fishing licenses and post-office permits.
