Abstract

Cape Town, South Africa: the small knot of men hanging around the dock gates hardly attracts a second glance. To the casual observer they are just like any other group of chancers trying their luck for work in the port. However, this group is not just any old flotsam of washed up job hunters. They are members of the Cape Town Harbour Fishermen Co-operative, part of a new quota owning elite in South Africa. They are some of the new quota owners, so-called ‘new entrants’ to the fishery, and the intended beneficiaries of the transformation processes set in motion in the fishing sector just prior to 1994.
