Abstract

In SAMUDRA Report No. 24 (December 1999), Brian O’Riordan presents an extensive review of the situation in South Africa’s fishing sector. It is rather depressing reading: “a tale of chaos and corruption”. Even for people who have spent more than two weeks touring the fisheries sector, there are disturbing trends and accounts, running completely counter to the goals of equity and the redressing of historical imbalances. Nevertheless, the article shows a poor understanding of the process, and it is even poorer in advancing “sweeping and enlightened reforms”. Therefore, a few comments from another outsider, who has followed the process since 1994.
