Together with the KZN RPO, Kwanalu recently hosted an impactful Stock Theft Workshop in Utrecht, designed to provide livestock farmers with critical knowledge and practical tools to address the challenges of stock theft. An exceptional line-up of speakers covered key topics, and farmers were able to engage in meaningful discussions, ensuring that they left better equipped to safeguard their herds.
