The Eastern Cape is the country's livestock theft capital of the country.
That's according to Safety MEC, Weziwe Tikana-Gxothiwe.
In a speech prepared for a virtual presentation on Friday, she said that the Eastern Cape is home to eight of the top ten police stations countrywide, where stock theft is rife.
The MEC says that's a title the province does not want to wear for long.
Just last weekend, a total of 10 suspected livestock thieves were arrested in the province. Five of them were nabbed at Sulenkama in Qumbu within the confines of the OR Tambo Municipality.
