A major corruption scandal in Namibia’s fishing industry has been uncovered, revealing allegations of illegal quota trading and misappropriation of fishrot—a byproduct of fish processing used as animal feed. Investigations suggest that officials and industry insiders exploited loopholes in licensing systems to manipulate fishrot allocations, potentially undermining both economic regulations and food security. Authorities are now probing whether the scheme involved systematic bribery or collusion to profit from the controlled distribution of the commodity. The case raises broader questions about transparency in Namibia’s fisheries management and the effectiveness of oversight in preventing such abuses.
