there are many acts which will be relevant but what you want are the provincial regulations... it differst from province to province, like for example, it is only legal to use kive bait in kzn.... i'll look into it for you seeing as this is kind of in my field...
These are all acts that hold some form of significance for freshwater bodies and thus by implication freshwater fishing... Environment Conservation Act, Environmental Laws Rationalisation Act , Municipal Systems Act , National Environmental Management Act (NEMA), National Environmental Management Amendment Act’s, National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act , National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, National Environmental Management, National Heritage Resources Act and the National Water Act.
May I ask why you want to know this?

Fishing
This leaflet lists good, accessible angling waters within 150 km of Cape Town, and provides general conservation guidelines for freshwater anglers. A map indicates suitable waters. Waters are divided into dams and rivers. The most commonly caught fish species in each water are listed. These fishes can be identified with A Complete Guide to the Freshwater Fishes of Southern Africa by Paul Skelton (available at most CNA's). Dams
1. Brandvlei: carp and white fish
2. Idas Valley: two dams well-stocked with rainbow trout
3. Lakenvlei: rainbow trout
4. Misverstand: carp, largemouth and smallmouth blackbass and Mozambique tilapia
5. Sandvlei: carp, Mozambique tilapia, sharptooth catfish and mullet
6. Theewaterskloof: largemouth bass
7. Volvlei: carp and smallmouth bass
8. Zeekoevlei: carp, Mozambique tilapia and sharptooth catfish
Rivers Berg River: rainbow trout above Franschhoek. Above Paarl the river contains smallmouth bass and carp. The remainder of the river contains carp, Mozambique tilapia, sharptooth catfish and smallmouth bass. Breede River: rainbow trout dominate its mountain tributaries (e.g. Elandsplaat, Holsloot and Molenaars rivers) but brown trout dominate the upper Witte River. The Breede River provides excellent fishing for carp, smallmouth bass and some whitefish. Eerste and Lourens rivers: rainbow trout are common in the sections above Stellenbosch and Somerset West respectively. Carp are common in the middle and lower river. General Conservation Tips
* Ensure that you have permission to fish on the waters you intend fishing, especially when on private land.
* Contact numbers for trout and bass fishing are the Cape Piscatorial Society, Tel. (021) 424 7725 and Bassin' Distributors Tel. (021) 930 6170.
* Please do not litter and never throw away fishing line.
* Litter is a hazard to human and fish health, and fish line can entangle and kill birds.
* Please return indigenous fishes (e.g. Clanwilliam yellowfish, sawfin and whitefish) to the water.
* All large species are threatened with extinction as they have been eliminated from much of their former ranges by alien fishes such as the two black bass species, carp and sharptooth catfish.
* Should you wish to stock virgin farm dams, consider indigenous fish as a first option. Many are good angling fishes and by choosing them landowners can help conserve them.
* You need a permit to transport live fish from one waterbody to another.
* An angling licence from CapeNature is required to catch fish in any river or dam.

I agree very difficult to actually abide by the law.
That is a question I am finding hard to get answers on Paulk. I wouldnt think u would require a licence to catch an alien invasive species which pretty much covers most of the recreational angling in freshwater except for maybe barbel and a few others. But i am not sure? Some ppl say yes and some say no I dunno which ones right. I can understand the need for a lic if u fishing for indigineous species.
