Kesupile calls for indigenous livestock identification

Kesupile said, during the recent sitting, that the indigenous knowledge system should be accommodated in courts especially in the wake of the rising stock theft cases, disputes and loss in the country.

“Indigenous identification of livestock should be considered in our courts because lots of people lose their livestock especially cattle when they are not branded despite one having an extensive knowledge of how they can identify them, other than the commonly used and visible numerical branding,” he said.
