ANIMALS: 328 UNCLAIMED BY OWNERS

- Enkosi Selane

Police are grappling with a mounting livestock crisis, with 328 animals unclaimed by their owners in the 2024-25 financial year alone – a huge increase from just two three years ago.

The figures were recently revealed by Police Minister Senzo Mchunu in response to parliamentary questions.

The crisis has escalated sharply over the past three years, with 82 livestock going unclaimed in 2023-24 compared with only two in 2022-23.

Police facilities and private pounds across the country are sheltering 723 animals, with the majority, 652 beasts, kept in private facilities, while 71 are in public pounds.

Mchunu outlined government's approach to addressing the problem while responding to questions from EFF MP Mothusi Montwedi.
