On Monday, 26 February 2018, a 28 year old suspect will appear in the Ganyesa Magistrates’ Court for possession of suspected stolen livestock.

The suspect’s court appearance stems from his apprehension on Friday, 23 February 2018. That was after the police in Morokweng responded rapidly to a tip off about suspicious males who were seen loading cattle into a bakkie at a cattle pen in the village.

It was during the arrival of the police at the scene that two of the three males managed to flee while one was arrested. The police recovered four cattle including a bull, all worth R45 000,00. The cattle were later identified by the owner.

The North West Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Baile Motswenyane acknowledged members of the community for their cooperation that resulted in the arrest of the suspect and the recovery of the cattle.
