# AfriForum has expressed concern at the scale of cattle theft in the country. According to SAPS statistics, more than 53-thousand-600 cattle were stolen nationwide in the 2024/2025 financial year. Last week, a 34-year-old police officer, who is part of the SAPS Stock Theft Unit, was arrested in Standerton, Mpumalanga, for allegedly stealing 450-thousand-rand worth of cattle. AfriForum’s Hennie Bekker says the public’s trust in the police and its stock theft unit has been undermined:
