Stock theft remains a headache for farmers

Stock theft has robbed many subsistence farmers of their livelihoods. Some widows who try to make ends through livestock farming also suffer the same fate. This crime has pushed some farmers out of the trade, while others are scared to keep the little number of animals they have remaining. Others have abandoned their homes to go and stay at their small farms, with the hope of saving the remaining animals, after criminals made way with their livestock. This is the story of many subsistence farmers across the country. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
