Calls to re-open the western breakwall for fishing has resulted in a meeting between fishermen, Buffalo City Metro, the Department of Public Enterprise and Transnet at the Orient Theatre.
Peter Greyvenstein – a local fisherman and business owner – said fisherman were originally barred from the area within the East London harbour 14 years ago over security concerns in the wake of the security clamp-down after the 9/11 Twin Tower attacks in the US.
The fishing community has been fighting to have it re-opened for 12 years now.
