All the octopus lines and traps in False Bay will be removed by the weekend, weather permitting, said environment, forestry and fisheries minister Barbara Creecy on Thursday.

False Bay has three permit holders, one of which is dormant and two of which are held by the same operator, Creecy said.

“We had an extended discussion about alternative technologies,” she said, adding that the operators wanted to look at the financing of these. The plight of penguins being rescued from an oil spill in Algoa Bay in the Eastern Cape also received her attention. “They had 20 birds affected, and another 40 birds by yesterday afternoon. Sancob has sent teams to Algoa Bay to augment those working there.

OPINIONISTA: Has the time come for the politically weaponised Public Protector to be removed from office?If one were to be charitable, one could say that that the Public Protector does not have a full grasp of the law or the powers of her office. Alternatively, one might say that Busisiwe Mkhwebane has become a political player herself. judith_february The time was the day after she was appointed by the Zupta Cartel. judith_february In the broader scheme of things, it's a justifiable view to have especially after the blunderous tenure of the public protector.
