RESIDENTS woke up on Monday to find dogs feasting on slaughtered cows’ remains.
Three cows were stolen and slaughtered in the open veld in Holomisa,near Uitenhage.
Ndodomzi Stokwe (67), the owner of the cows, said he left his 24 cows to graze in the veld on Sunday and planned to pick them up the next morning
“We got there and realised they were my cows.”
A resident told the DkTeam it was tense in the area after the discovery.
He said there was a problem with cattle theft three years ago, but it had stopped.
“Cows roam on their own. In the morning they leave their homes and go to the veld and return in the night,” he said.
He said thugs took advantage of people’s trust.
“We suspect those responsible are people from the area feared by everyone. They slaughter the cows, put them into their van and drive away.”
He said even goats were not safe.
Colonel Thembeka Mbele said residents found the remains of three slaughtered cows in a forest.
“It’s believed the cattle were stolen. A case of stock theft was opened and the Uitenhage stock theft unit is investigating,” she said.
