The theft of livestock can be devastating for farmers and the economy. Today Police minister Senzo Mchunu is hosting Stakeholder Engagement with Stock Theft Unit Commanders and key stakeholders to come up with ways to prevent the crime.


By Maile Matsimela

The Minister of Police, Senzo Mchunu, is hosting a Ministerial Stakeholder Engagement in Bloemfontein today with Stock Theft Unit Commanders and key stakeholders to address the growing challenges posed by stock theft in South Africa.

The meeting is expected to bring together Premiers, Members of the Executive Council (MECs), and senior officials from the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Free State provinces, along with law enforcement representatives and key stakeholders in the agricultural sector.

Stock theft is a huge problem in South Africa, as it negatively impacts farmers’ livelihoods, food security, and economic stability.

*This is a developing story.
