Hope arises for 700 fishermen

The battle for the reemployment of 1,130 unemployed fishermen who lost their jobs eight years ago could be over soon.
The Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Derek Klazen, made the announcement during a media briefing at Walvis Bay.
These fishermen, who were previously employed by various fishing companies, lost their jobs as a result of their participation in an illegal strike.
Last year, Cabinet directed the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources to issue a public call for competent companies that could offer permanent employment to these workers.
