Bobirwa farmers to be compensated post FMD

The development follows the completion of a commission of inquiry that probed cross boarder cattle rustling in Bobirwa area with some perpetrators reportedly being from neighbouring Zimbabwe. Recently, Bobonong Member of Parliament (MP), Taolo Lucas asked the Minister of State President, Kabo Morwaeng the outcome of the commission, when will it be made public and when the President will assist the victims like he had promised.

Responding to his question, Morwaeng stated that the affected farmers should expect the assistance as soon as the lifting of the restriction on movement of cloven hoofed animals imposed following the outbreak of the Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is done.
