Friday, June 09, 2023 | 290 Views |

MOROKA: The North East District (NED) has recently been hit by a new wave of crime. The crime of cattle theft. Hitherto unknown in the district, the wave has hit at lightning speed, with stolen cattle never recovered.

Farmers are in tears, their loss of cattle is so severe, especially that due to shortage of land in the district, most farmers rear very small numbers of cattle. Those with 20 or more cattle are considered to be amongst the richest in most villages.

The villagers are in agreement that cattle theft was unknown in the district until very recently. The farmers are also of the opinion that all of a sudden there must be a syndicate particularly committing the crime of cattle theft.
