Makgabo Semenya aged 56 of Ga-Nkidikitlana, in Moletji has lost four donkeys in a short space of time. These were her only means of transport and business that she inherited from his late husband.

And then in Burgersfort recently, three men were spotted killing and skinning a donkey, a rare sight because the meat is not a delicacy there. And police investigations have discovered a bizarre motive for the increase in donkey thefts.

It is alleged donkey skin is allegedly in demand in China, where it is believed to have medicinal properties that helps delay menopause. The hunters sell the skins to Chinese men, who transport them home.

“We appeal to our people to call the police while these barbaric acts are taking place. The three suspects are on the run. We have never experienced anything like this as a province. We are still investigating to try and find out why the donkeys are being stolen,” said Ngoepe.
