Local firm acquires licence to run F-town abattoir

Judex managing director and owner, Harry Moloi has confirmed that the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) gave the abattoir, owned by the Francistown City Council (FCC), the green light last week. “We received the licence on Friday. The licence is for a medium throughput abattoir and cold storage facility,” he said.

He said that the abattoir licence was issued following a thorough inspection by the DVS.  Moloi added that the abattoir would open early next month, noting that training of employees is currently underway and that it will be completed at the end of this month. “We have hired a South African company, Red Meat Association of South Africa, to train our 32 employees,” he said.
