Business Reporter<\/p>\n

THE Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources Derek Klazen has stated that the ministry will as a remedial intervention look at ways on how to find active duty-employment within the fishing industry for 612 fishermen who allegedly resigned from their jobs after false promises from rival companies.<\/p>\n

The minister stated that the companies which offered the fishermen better offers do not have any fishing rights nor quota and no active employment.<\/p>\n

The Okapare fishermen who lost their jobs consequent to an illegal strike in 2015 received N$ 4000 every month, but were however not actively employed by the companies which were allocated quotas by government to create employment. Instead the fishermen, received these payments while laying idle at home.<\/p>\n

The minister of fisheries Derek Klazen, Minister of fisheries and marine resources admitted that since the re-employment of some of these fishermen in 2015, not all of them have taken up active employment simply because the industry has no actual work for them to render on factory or vessels.<\/p>\n

“Those who could not be absorbed as active employees remained on the companies’ payroll and continued to receiving a basic salary of N$ 4000. Conversely, some found active placements and continue to render their services in the various fisheries sectors aboard vessels or on the factory floor. To date, the Ministry remains seized with the matter aimed at finding active employment for the affected people including the duty placement of a further 212 employees who lost their jobs as a result of abandonment and abscondment of Icelandic fishing companies’ vessels, Salga and Geysir,” Klazen said.<\/p>\n

He added that the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources is planning to conduct a verification audit to establishing the total number of fishermen employed under the Government Employment Redress Program who have not taken up active employment, meaning being paid while not in full active service with the view to looking at new modalities of finding them active-duty employment.<\/p>\n

“It is in the midst of all these developments that the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources became alive to the fact that there are companies without fishing quota operating in Walvis Bay luring some of these employees to joining their companies under prospects of better salaries that birthed the mass resignations from four companies, namely Cavema Fishing (Pty) Ltd Joint Venture; Camoposatu Investment (Pty) Ltd and Vernier Investment (Pty) Ltd and Hodago Fishing (Pty) Ltd Joint Venture and Kuiseb Fishing Enterprises (Pty) Ltd,” Klazen shared.<\/p>\n

He noted that the fisheries ministry attempted to dissuade the resigning employees from uncoupling from their allocated companies but these pleas fell on deaf ears.<\/p>\n

“There seem to exist a flawed understanding and perception amongst some of the affected fishermen that the fishing quota against which the employment of the affected employees has been secured is and remains the property of the affected workers and further that these quotas are transferable to wherever the employees want it to go. Obviously, that understanding negates the governments’ objective of ensuring employment for the affected workers and the maintenance of stability and job tenure security in the fishing industry,” Klazen stated.<\/p>\n

He concluded that the Ministry will begin with consultations with recognized Labour unions in the fishing sector in order to create the required understanding regarding the fishing quota redressing employment in the fishing industry and who owns these quotas.<\/p>\n

“The Ministry will continue to encourage the affected workers to guard their jobs against unscrupulous elements offering them lofty dreams of greener pastures while ensuring the return of normalcy and stability within the fishing industry,” Klazen said.<\/p>\n
