Stock theft rocks Palapye

Last year rustlers pounced at Raditanka's cattle post in Setatse and made off with 13 head of cattle, leaving only two. In the previous incident thieves cleared his kraal again in Lechaneng cattle post where they snatched all the 87 beasts that he had. In June this year thieves again stole all his 15 sheep and five he-goats. "I am just left in a state of despair. It is also embarrassing for me because I have to handle stock theft cases brought before me by other victims."

Raditanka is confused moreso that the second theft happened after he bought some livestock to re-stock. He reported the matter to Palapye Police who have not made any breakthroughs in their investigations.
