Matimela are a headache for SPTC

Selebi-Phikwe Town Council pound officer, Franchiscare Keitsekgomo, says the stray livestock roam the streets at night. She explained that since the beginning of the year, the number of stray livestock that have been impounded has tripled compared to last year.

"The situation can be attributed to negligence by farmers since they do not have time to take care of their livestock. They leave the responsibility to their herdboys who in most cases are Zimbabweans," she said.
