Dispute Halts Elephant Sales In Mmadinare

Speaking during a Kgotla meeting that was addressed by the outgoing area MP, Ponatshego Kedikilwe and cabinet minister last week, the trust's chairman indicated that they had hoped to make a killing out of this year's sales as they expected to be given a licence for 30 elephants.

However, they were told that they are supposed to share the quota with another development trust in Lepokole hence they were left with only 15. The Mmadinare community had asked the trust to sell the animals at P30,000 each but there were delays because their counterparts in Lepokole were ignorant of what the transaction involves.
