Amandla Marine: Fishy patrol fleet tender

This is the latest exchange in an ongoing row over a R1bn tender for the management of South Africa's fisheries patrol fleet, which polices an ocean area larger than the country.

Documents in the possession of the Sunday Times suggest the row over the lucrative tender is likely to focus on the perceived lack of transformation within the maritime industry.
