The North West government has defended its decision to kill two buffaloes which were spotted roaming the streets of Mahikeng on Wednesday.
The buffaloes, a male and a female, were spotted in a church yard opposite the North West University, an area used by hundreds of students.
“The department notes that this was not the ideal outcome, although given the condition of the animals and the situation at hand where human lives were potentially at risk, the duty to put them down was discharged swiftly,” said Seshabela. “The two buffalo became increasingly excited and displayed numerous instances of aggressiveness. Given the situation and the lives at risk, the department looked at various options however concluded that the animals had to be put down,” Seshabela said.
