Tsogwane seeks help for livestock farmers

In a motion without notice on Friday, Tsogwane also asked the House to request government to allow the use of idle quarantine camps by local communities to graze their cattle. He said these, and other interventions, are necessary to avoid possible extinction of cattle due to harsh and prolonged drought periods.

He said due to the drought the country has experienced over the last two years, the livestock sector, which is the cornerstone of the livelihoods of many Batswana, has been severely affected.
