Public assistance requested to trace owners of suspected stolen cattle

05 July 2025 | From Arrive Alive


The Police in Limpopo are appealing to members of the public, especially cattle farmers in and around Blinkwater farms near Senwabarwana, to assist in tracing the rightful owners of cattle suspected to have been stolen.

On Tuesday, 01 July 2025, a total of eight (08) cattle were discovered at an auction and reported as suspected stolen livestock. Police investigations revealed that the seller could not be traced, raising further suspicion regarding the legitimacy of the sale. As a result, the cattle were safely transported to the Blouberg Municipal Pound for safekeeping and community viewing.

Preliminary information suggests that the cattle may have originated from the Blinkwater farms area in the Senwabarwana policing precinct.

Members of the public who may have lost cattle, or who can assist in identifying the rightful owners, are urged to come forward.

They may contact Sergeant Thabete of the Polokwane Stock Theft and Endangered Species Unit, at 076 481 4351, Crime Stop at 08600 10111, use MySAPSApp, or visit the nearest police station.
