A joint South African and Eswatini operation recovers livestock valued at more than R290,000 near the Eswatini border. The recovered animals include cattle, sheep and goats.
The operation, known as Operation Basadi, targets suspected stock-theft activity in the area around Ndonga Farm and Mafufumbe, near Mayflower. Authorities say the action focuses on locations associated with alleged theft and illegal movement of livestock across the border. The report frames the recovery as part of cross-border cooperation between the two countries’ relevant agencies.
Across the available coverage, the main emphasis is on the value of the recovered stock and the stated purpose of the operation—responding to suspected stock-theft in a border region—rather than on arrests, prosecutions, or alleged perpetrators. The details provided focus on what was recovered and where the operation takes place.
