I am a hounary law enforcement officer residing in Port Elizabeth and have assisted in all poaching activities. I am yet to understand that the only boat to be used called Silent Hunter by your EPV team in PE has 6 months ago undergone in excess of R700000 repairs and not been mobile since and parked at our K9 unit premises in the sun. While poaching is rife and that the unit is sent to other provinces with absolutely no fisheries taking any action in this area
Last night 7 rubber ducks with crew launched through the Swartkops estuary and returned in the early hours of this morning with no regards to residents and knew that no officials to take action.
This unfortunately cannot continue and has become a frustration to all and especially the residence that have huge investments along oud estuary.
