Thandi Modise to co-operate with NCPCA investigation


The chairperson of the National Council of Provinces, Thandi Modise, says she will co-operate with the investigation into the neglect of animals on her farm.

She said in a statement on Monday that she's saddened by the abandonment and trauma that the livestock suffered after workers employed on the farm unceremoniously left without notice.

According to a weekend report, the pigs on Modise's farm had started cannabalising dozens of other dead pigs while sheep, geese, goats and ducks had also died on the property near Modderfontein in North West province.

The Freedom Front Plus said Modise was a poor example to emerging black farmers and should be prosecuted for animal cruelty.
