As part of our ongoing commitment, support, and responsibility towards small-scale farmers, Mr. Jabulani Tshabalala, an officer from our LED Agriculture Unit, visited a nearby livestock enclosure (kraal) to ensure that it was thoroughly treated with a specialised sanitiser.

This important intervention is aimed at eliminating harmful pathogens, parasites, and accumulated waste that can pose serious health risks to livestock. By maintaining clean and hygienic livestock environments, we help protect animals from preventable illnesses and, in severe cases, reduce the risk of mortality.

Our commitment goes beyond supporting farmers—it is about caring for their livelihoods, protecting their livestock, and helping build healthier, more sustainable farming communities. Every effort, no matter how small, contributes to safeguarding the wellbeing of both farmers and the animals that depend on them.
