Farmers ecstatic at electric fence promise

Masisi made the announcement at a Kgotla meeting in Matsiloje during the village’s centenary celebrations. A clearly worried Masisi partly said then: “… As a result of that, the government will electrify the fence at Matopi to control the movement of elephants. The government will also look at the possibility of electrifying the fence at Matsiloje in order to control the movement of elephants to minimise their chances of destroying people’s property. Nonetheless, I praise you for being resilient over the years despite what befell you”.

Tati East Member of Parliament (MP), Samson Guma Moyo also waded into the issue when addressing the gathering during the celebrations. He said elephants have been giving his constituents a plethora of problems over the years.
