The vessels were brought into port on Sunday night as part of a joint operation by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DAFF), the SA Maritime Safety Authority and the SA Navy. They were escorted the DAFF vessel, Sarah Baartman, and the SA Navy ship, SAS Drakensberg. This followed an investigation into reports that Chinese fishing trawlers were fishing illegally in South African waters. "On 20 May 2016, just off Port Elizabeth, the joint patrol spotted two foreign fishing vessels from the automated identification system on board the Navy vessel. We established that the vessels had gear on board and we verified that they had not applied to enter into our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and that created suspicion. The seas were rough, which made it impossible for our inspectors to board the vessels. Our fishery control officers instructed the vessels through radio communication to sail to East London, but they did not cooperate," the DAFF said. A spokesperson for the Department Bomikazi Molapo, said two vessels played cat and mouse on the high seas with the SA Navy, before they were eventually intercepted and instructed to sail to East London." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why does China keep sending illegal fishermen half way across the world. Every nation should do as Argentina does until China ceases |
| They should do what Indonesia did instead. BLOW THEM UP ON LIVE TV. |
