Gov't won’t compensate farmers for killer tick

Responding to a question in Ntlo Ya Dikgosi recently, Minister of Agriculture Fidelis Molao said they won’t compensate farmers because the condition can be put under control by a concerted effort of the farmers and the ministry.

“Tick in livestock is an animal husbandry practice that every farmer in the country has to undertake to be productive in the livestock industry. Now with the bridge available at Mohembo, outlets selling dips will be engaged to carry out mobile sales for the farming community to buy dips,” he said.
