The document reports that KwaZulu-Natal Cogta MEC Nomusa Dube-Nube (Dube-Ncube) urged amakhosi to heed the Zulu King's call to develop the ocean economy, especially along the coast. It notes the King’s address during Inkosi Langelasembo Mkhize’s installation, encouraging diversification beyond agriculture to include fishing-related opportunities. Dube-Ncube supports initiatives to improve rural well-being and envisions traditional communities buying boats and building packhouses to process, package, and sell fish, as part of embracing the ocean economy and Radical Economic Transformation.
