The Fisher People Tribunal hearing
12-14 August 2024
Kalk Bay, Cape Town
Masifundise will be hosting The Fisher People Tribunal (FPT). A grassroots-led forum where members from coastal and inland fishing communities come together to investigate and address human rights violations or social injustices.
50 representatives from fishing communities along the coasts and inland areas of KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, and Northern Cape will attend.
The FPT seeks to provide a platform for the voices of small-scale fishers and fishing communities in South Africa, to seek accountability and redress for human rights abuses and injustices
