IFP urges probe into allegations of cruelty against horses at Durban July
Johannesburg - The Inkatha Freedom Party on Tuesday called upon the KwaZulu-Natal legislature’s conservation and environmental affairs portfolio committee to investigate allegations that horses used in the 2019 Durban July horse-racing spectacle were subjected to "unethical training methods, illegal stimulants and horrific injuries and deaths".
Mazibuko said his motion emanated from a statement from Ban Animal Trading South Africa’s Saihashna Rajkumar who claimed that "behind the glitz and glamour lay" a very dark side to the horse-racing or betting industry of which the general public wasn't aware.
