With the much-anticipated Ankole livestock auction, hosted by President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm in Bela-Bela, Limpopo, on Saturday, an Ankole cattle farmer has provided SABC News with insight into the breeding and rearing of some of the world’s most coveted animals.
One of the most sought-after cattle breeds in the world, the Ankole cattle are indigenous to East and Central Africa. Although they are expensive to buy, Matsila says the animals are cheap to rear as they can withstand the harshest of conditions, including drought.The farmer says he plans to buy another Ankole bull at the Phala Phala Ankole auction in Bela-Bela on Saturday to add to his herd. But it will cost him an arm and a leg.
His assistant farmer, Alidzuli Ramugondo, adds that the Ankole has a very aggressive temperament, especially when under threat and protecting its offspring.
Ramaphosa only wants to make millions or rands, meanwhile the country is going down, he's focusing more on his cattle than the country itself
Strong herding and protection instincts ❤️😉
Ok
'much anticipated?'
CattleAnkole Mumpe egyo mayenje. Anita.
Who anticipated they auction? You forced us to focus on the auction for the first time in history an auction is televised live like news.
SABC supposed to inform and educate the public, but right now it is run as Propaganda machine of those in power, Phala Phala is a crime scene, Journalists supposed to be there asking questions why NPA ain't charging people who committed crime.
Is this journalism or you are trying to cover up for Thumamina this is total abuse on the public who pay TV licenses.
This is criminal and yoll are promoting it
I am curious to know if the beef from these cattle is sold in RSA and how it tastes.
But why president had to do that when constitution is against it? Read section 96 of SA constitution
The focus of all these media houses is worrying. Don't they feel like they should probe the truthfulness of rama's claim that the foreign currency millions have been legitimately obtained?
Read s96
Tell us why Cyril $4 Million Dollars Cash and hid it under his matress...and why it was not cleared with SARS or did Kieswetter take a cut...Mafia dealings and State Capture needs more exposure.Dont try and distract South Africa with a Cock and Cow story.We are awake.
Anticipated by who?
Why are you making this seem normal? We're in the brink of an Economic Crisis & our President is busy running auctions, isn't that conflict of interest on it's own? What is the Constitution saying, can't you report on that?
Cyril is using his brains to make dollars unlike others that host rally n gossip. Well done to Phala Phala team.
Such a cover up
Trying hard to beautify a crime scene,no objectivity,shame on you.Update on PhalaPhala FarmGate investigations?Did you ask Minister of Justice to respond to Namibian Police's statement, wherein they say SA Minister of Justice didn't answer when the rule of law called on him..?
Free advertisement using national broadcaster, we see you! Keep on advertising his business for free but say nothing about thr money laundering and Glencore saga. We not as dumb as u think.
Mxm
Breeding of cattle should be left for FarmersWeeklySA - you guys should be investigating the hidden intrigue of the story. Where did the money come from, why was it stolen by two men from Namibia? Why was it kept on the farm, who brought it to the farm etc. Investigate, report
Ramaphosa has no respect for South Africans and its ancestors. His stunts are arrogant, similar to the conduct of ANC to its voters. Just disgusting, I can't wait fo his incarceration.
So a sitting President is allowed to have a side hussle... welcome to RSA... we miss these kinds of leaders...
I think president must resign and concentrate on his business.
Govenrment instutitions are used to promote a president private business. are now promoting CyrilRamaphosa business while he's a president of the country. How pervasive is this?
You are now influencers of Ankole auctions at PhalaPhala farm. You are promoting a farm where crimes were committed by Cyril Ramaphosa. The disrespect you are showing South Africans keeps getting worse.
This guy takes us for fools.
You are promoting my favorite President to temper with the crime scene.. Oh Lord Jesus heal our journalism.
We’re not going to sanitise the crime scene, are we?
A sitting President can’t be in business ba4we2! Check the constitution. This is a crime and you’re trying to make it look okay. Are you all okay. Blink twice
You guy though 😅 never get tired hey, 'a much anticipated auction' you say on a crime scene try by all means to legitimise something very wrong about Phala Phala Farm. The president bridge his executive oath and the constitution by admitting his doing business whilst in office
first time i hear president being in business, cash dollar business, ithini i constitution
That's a crime scene, still under investigation isn't? That auction mustn't take place
Why are you suddenly bombarding us with PhalaPhalaFarm auction information;is this their first or are you trying to make us forget the crimes committed by Ramatrasi there ThumaMinaMediaGroup PhalaPhalaGate!?
President is under investigation but, auction is going ahead as planned at the controversial Phala Phala farm. PhalaPhalaGate
So he’s going to make another 60 million ?
What are we waiting for as South Africans Cyril must step down as President why why South Africans !!!
Why is PhalaPhalaFarm not treated as a crime scene up until the investigations have been concluded? Ramadollar is now interfering with the investigation process - don't u guyz think 🤔. RamaphosaMustGo VoetsekRamaPhosa
Why is a public broadcaster praising criminality n crime?
Will this be broadcast live today as many of us wants to see and learn
Phala phala is a crime scene
samkelemaseko Imagine an auction at a crime scene. The disrespect is on higher level.
Hope it makes sense now🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Nothing will erase Cyril Ramaphosa's crimes at Phala Phala farm , nothing at all👇👇👇👇👇
Money Laundering 💸💸💸💸💸 PhalaPhalaFarm, CR17BankStatements and RamaphosaMustGo,
Nah, U can't cleanse a crime scene before justice takes its course
This one I hope is the that was auctioned for millions of dollars 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Kahleni, you are giving the farm sh*t advertisement now?
As long as anc is in government of this country. We still going to suffer the consequences of corruption. Poor will remain poor forever and rich people will become more richer. No job and expensive food benefits the richer
They gonna have buyers with lots of cash to try prove why there was so much money in that farm,whitewash
Perhaps Rino poachers will change course?
samkelemaseko Story of 2024 when we take them out with their media. The media is a minority in votes
English is hard to understand Please, one with elevated intelligence to interpret this blog so I fi understand pls Ooo biko
Since when is Phala Phala farm auction 'NEWS'? The only interest we have is the criminal acts on that scene. Give us proper news.
So the public broadcaster is trying to deflect the attention away from this money launderer. No wonder African democracies are this weak
Crime scene.
Sitting president running a business ,you're putting a final nail on his coffin and contrary to your belief of legitimizing his unconstitutional and criminal acts. Crime ke crime it doesn't matter whether you fashionize it or not, report it or not, bottom line it is CRIME ...
Mattress 1st
Am coming to attend that MoneyLaundering show I need more skills on laundering money.
Sebeqale nini uku publicize lama auction ase PhalaPhala 😂. Ey lezigebengu Jehovah...
How do you still host an auction at a crime scene?🤔
You SABC you keep reporting nonsense while our president lost money. While Your Gupta breakfast cost ex friends jobs , are you extention of RET? What happened to your fake impartial reporting or you want CR to turn it to be State broardcaster?
The real farmer
Ori_RSA This looks like money laundering at its best 😏 ..
This is just a cover-up for his money laundering shananigans 😏
No more bullshitting‼️
Sanitising a crime scene
There is no auction that is going to save CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA this is a last kick of dying horse...
So a sitting president is in business?
Its a planned cover up. Intelligence told him that he Must have another auction ASAP to get a credible story for the past issue. Just check how a smooth explaination will flow after this relating to the scandal. NPA will drop all investigations. We are treated like children!
Buy me for $100 000. Put the payment under the mattrass when you exit
This is how mafia's and ' family's ' clean money. Wake up bantu
Ori_RSA The gifter 🤣🤣🤣
Being President is a side hustle to this man, let's give him around of applause
Captured! Reporting nonchalantly as if the president and our justice and police service didn't cover up any crime on a farm that sells game. Mind you, NO CASH IS USED FOR TRADE OM THESE AUCTIONS. So your idiotic attempt to cover this up is just EXPOSING you as a news agency.
They are going to try backdating paper work..I sense more criminality happening there
These clowns 🤡🤡🤡
Nothing u write or say will distract us now.
Phala Phala farm is a money laundering centre masquerading as animal farm, Criminal Ramaphosa uses Phala Phala farm as a money laundering mafia centre
The country is in shambles but our president is hosting livestock auctions at his house tonight. Yoh hai😩
Sideshow nje leka gafisa ke kgomo ya mfanaka ama golo😂😂😂😂
So outa the blue it is publicized? Wow!
Not interested! Where are the receipts, invoices? Where are the “thieves” who stole from the “Chief Launderer” and were kidnapped, tortured and bribed? Let hear their side of the bs story! Are they alive? Distractions won’t do it!!! One a crook, always a crook! RamaPhalaPhala
FannieNkosi1 Nothing can sanitize the President from this PhalaPhalaFarm scandal. Any attempt at such just makes things that much worse
