Open Borders: Cannabis and cattle theft | Documentary
“Cannabis and cattle theft” is die derde episode in die dokumentêre reeks Open Borders. Dié reeks, wat deur AfriForum vervaardig word met regie deur Jacques Broodryk, fokus op misdaadprobleme wat deur Suid-Afrika se swak grensbeheer geskep word. Hierdie episode spits hom toe op Suid-Afrika se grense met Lesotho en Eswatini en hoe dagga en gesteelde vee oor die grense gesmokkel word, asook hoe AfriForum- vrywilligers betrokke raak om misdaad te help bekamp.

The Sothos shouldn't be I South Africa or an independent entity... This has been an 130 years issue and Pre 94 it was 100% under control. As for eswatini same story, they want independence but refuse to not build schools and healthcare... Blacks don't have a solution or the capacity to fix a thing! The very fact that they are on any leadership position is the problem, they have had 50 years and the 3rd generation of kids are even worse off than when we started pumping billions into rectifying it. They do not want peace,ad this broken system works for them and it's 1000% not what anyone agreed too. You cannot uplift them,it solves nothing the entire African continent has proved this in the last 100 years.

I think the thought running through my mind watching this is this influx of foreigners is due to the cheap labour they provide for some farmers and overall employers in the country, take for example, helpers are majority Lesotho nationals, garden boys most likely Zimbabweans and Malawians also in the construction sector, more and more are getting in on the illegal mining action and so forth because employers don't want to pay liveable wages, that's another discussion altogether but the comments are clear, all South Africans are upset and fed up also you see more creeds pulling together

Well done to those good souls doing the right thing.
Decriminalization of Cannabis is long over due. Then farmers can get back to farming.
The Lesotho situation has been going on since 1852. My great grandfather was given concessions along the border to farm and to act as a buffer to farms further away. So he owned huge tracks of land in the Golden Gate up to Fouriesburg, I farmed 4 km from the border near Ficksburg

To win the border battle we have to address all illegality and leave no stone unturned. If we are going to address cattle theft and dagga crossing our borders we also have to address the issue of farmers hiring illegal immigrants, they benefit from cheap labour but they are paying a price in losing livestock.

Cross border crime is quite rampant in South Africa, somehow in the North West province it is the Batswana that are heavily affected. We need new ways of doing things and for us not to talk to politicians or government leaders but to communities. We tried to engage with communities in Botswana but they seem not to trust anyone from South Africa. There are deeper conversations that are to be held as well because some of the structures really need reviwing because they are political influenced which create new opportunities for those that are not in the mainstream.

I don’t remember King Mswati and King Cetshwayo drawing up that line you call a border. Your grandfathers divided people and then you want to tell us they are crossing borders. They are simply visiting their kith and kin. That is exactly the reason why kids are rightly allowed to attend school on the other side of the line. When they don’t show up teachers become concerned because they know we are a people together. Who are you to tell us where we can go and where we can’t? Our African laws don’t work like that. You enter a village and present yourself to the people. Simpulu😂
