My client is a natural scientist. A specialist in fresh water invertebrates, he wrote a book on the subject. He was called in to assess the damage done to the aquatic ecology of the Olifants River by a toxic mine spill. He sampled the millions of dead fish in the river and dams.
He scooped up the dead fish with a net in order to identify the types of fish that were poisoned and then kept some dead fish as samples to be sent to Onderstepoort for pathology, to establish just what kind of poison killed them.
Now the Mpumalanga Parks and Tourism Agency #MTPA has charged him with the crime of fishing without a licence. He is due to appear in the Middelburg Magistrates Court shortly.
