The initiative encourages community members who suspect their cattle might be among those recovered to visit Sesung Village Kgotla for viewing and identification. Selebatso assured the public that the viewing process is open every day of the week, from 0730hrs to 1630hrs.

"It is crucial for individuals to bring proof of ownership such as brands, certificates, or any identifying documents along with their national identity cards. Witnesses who can attest to the ownership of the cattle are also encouraged to accompany the owners," Selebatso added.
