FAMILIES IDENTIFY 65 CATTLE AT TIBIYO FARM

MLIBA – A furious Macaleni Dlamini, King’s Office overseer of His Majesty’s livestock, had to call the police when seven men in the company of Private Investigator (PI) Hunter Shongwe entered a farm belonging to Tibiyo TakaNgwane to identify 65 cattle they claim were unlawfully impounded.

This was during the morning hours of Tuesday when the royal livestock was to be taken to a dip tank.
Manzini Police Regional Commander Richard Mngometulu had to intervene in the matter as the angry Dlamini said he was pressing charges against Hunter and the seven for trespassing on the farm.  

On the other hand, the seven claimed that the cattle were unlawfully seized from them when they were fined the 65 cattle after being accused of having a heifer belonging to the King.

Seizure

They described the seizure of their animals as theft. 
Hunter was then hired by the aggrieved families to help them get their animals which they say were taken to the Tibiyo farm called Dumisa Breeding Farm.

When he informed the farm’s supervisor about the purpose of their visit, he requested that they wait for the Ranch Manager, also identified as Shongwe, before they could be allowed to identify their animals from the hundreds of cattle on the farm.

However, after a long wait and as the animals were being dipped, a police van speedily drove in with three officers from Mliba Police Station. 
A brief exchange of heated words ensued between the police and Hunter as the men in blue accused them of trespassing.

Efforts

Hunter’s efforts in trying to reason with the police that they had not come to seize any cattle but to identify the 65, which were said to be kept at the farm, fell on deaf ears.
