Thank you for sharing this. Spread it far and wide! You should see what they do around Camps Bay! Brazenly just go about their business poaching and I think everyone just assumes it legit. Breaks my heart!
Law enforcement is powerless. This is the best way of combatting the poaching at the moment, by showing everyone what's happening. There are often 5 of these boats at Kommetjie every evening on calm days after 4.30pm - when the fishery enforcement knock off. So brazen.
If we measure one crayfish a mm to short, we get a R1000 fine. The head-office of the most "powerful" navy is just round the corner in Simons Town. Nothings gets done, because we have criminals in parliament.
I’m sorry to say, but give people their livelihoods back and you’ll see a decrease in poaching. It all started when subsistence fishermen got there licenses taken away from them. So go on then, keep spouting vitriol from your ivory towers.
100% on the money….. these fishermen come from generations of ocean harvest which has been denied to them…. the question is why…….DISCRIMINATION !!!!!!!!
What does abalone mean to you privileged White people living in Kommetjie,Camps Bay,Sea point etc❓to us underprivileged it's a means of survival taking care of our families you people are too quick to judge research what happens to the confiscated abalone? It still ends up in Hong Kong and the far East just the government profits from it....😢
What must they do to feed their families? How come the big players are allowed to block off sections of coastline from SA citizens to farm but these people are expected to starve? And…Michael Jackson’s whining didn’t help my mood🤣
Nice. Partly I agree. However check the kit. R1 000 000, right? Why not just fish instead, if they are hungery. Diving with cylinders at such a shallow depth is cheating. Diving in a community that spends its time in the water will be noticed.
@@capedoctor Well then just phone them and let them know it's happening at the time. Law Enforcement cannot be everywhere at all times. It's up to us to keep them informed and let them know when things are happening in real time. Same goes for the guy complaining about Camps Bay,if you see it happening,call straight away. Its like the leash laws. All over the place one sees people walking dogs off-lead in public areas, which is also illegal,and causes a lot of problems, but why do people get away with it,because nobody reports them. If one calls Law Enforcement they normally respond straight away,but they rely on us law abiding citizens to assist them too,this is how one fights crime.

So its ok if a white man do it but when a coloured man do it then it becomes illegal

The sea belongs to them now, while we are limited by quota and a few days per year
Should belong to our children, no? Or belongs to us and inherited by our children?

Fully agree bro!

Why does law enforcement not arrest them
Because everyone is benefiting!
True, but the level of diving gear....says there's some benefiting more than others
makes me unreasonably angry..............
Hire them to patrol the coast and protect it. Educate them. Give them MONEY EQUAL to that they make from this.... And you will solve the problem.
Based on their equipment....I can't afford them😅
Thats nothing compared to in the overberg,there is no desire to stop it at all.
Let hope komm is not next on the target list.

No point posting on RUclips. Give the video to Law Enforcement,with times date etc.
I might be persecuted for flying there. Also making myself a target by giving an official statement to the SAP
