“…For a long time, this phenomenon, which has no geographic reference, manifests itself in various scales and dimensions (Aiyzhy, Mongush, Mongush, Ondar, Seden-Khuurak & Bildinmaa, 2021). Felix (2020) (in Maluleke, 2021) reveals that the neighbouring Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries contributes hugely to the commission of this crime.…”

Undoubtedly, stock theft increased in most South African provinces during the lockdown period, thus, the objectives of this study were to provide a systematic discourse using news aggregators and seminal authors on this subject to showcase stock theft realities, and to establish the contributory factors thereof. The non-empirical research design: Systematic review methodology was used to analyse grey literature and primary research studies peer-reviewed and published, restricted from 2019-2020, as the Coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19) pandemic swept South Africa by an elusive heavy storm, with 1998-2022 directed studies on this scourge, however, none sequential preference was adopted. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Critical Appraisal Skill Programme (CASP) were employed to ensure the trustworthiness of the findings of this study. This study establishes that the current nature of policing in South Africa is regarded as one of the notable root causes of the stock theft problem and this crime will continue to hike during the lockdown and post-lockdown periods if concerted steps are not taken urgently by the top echelons of the South African Police Service (SAPS), their actions against this practice is currently compromised or emasculated, and the consequences are clear to see. This study recommends that to effectively respond to the identified study themes; an active discourse relating to the contributory of stock theft during lockdown should be prioritised by the South African government. This multi-agency approach should include reporting of this crime, brand-marking and tattooing of livestock, embracing technological advancements to combat it effectively.

“…Further, other studies reported uncertain weather conditions (Bernades & do Rêgo, 2014;Maleko, Msalya, Mwilawa, & Mtei, 2018;Zwane, 2019), high cost of feed and fertiliser (Maleko et al, 2018;Smitha, 2019;Zwane, 2019), power failures and high cost of electricity (Maluleke, Tshabalala & Tolla, 2021). Furthermore, many other studies report livestock theft (Kongolo & Dlamini, 2012;Clack, 2013;Bath, Penrith, & Leask, 2016;Aiyzhy et al, 2021;Diniso & Jaja, 2021), lack of machinery and equipment (Bernades & do Rêgo, 2014;Gianni, Gotzamani & Vouzas, 2017) and lack of government support (Mwakaje, 2008;Banda et al, 2012;Rademaker et al, 2016;Maleko et al, 2018;Smitha, 2019;Otieno, Muendo & Mbeche, 2020).

In developing countries, livestock in the form of small-scale dairy farming is often a primary source of food security and revenue for rural communities. Despite this, decreasing dairy production in rural areas is a great concern. This study explored the challenges of small-scale dairy farmers (SSDFs) in the Bojanala Platinum District of the North West Province, South Africa. A qualitative study was conducted using purposive and snowball sampling techniques among SSDFs in the district to uncover the challenges confronting them. Twenty‑four in‑depth interviews were conducted with farmers, and data were analysed using the thematic content analysis technique (TCA). Eight themes emerged from the data analysis: the high cost of feed and fertiliser, diseases and the high cost of medication, unpredictable weather patterns, power failure, high cost of electricity, cattle theft, lack of machinery and equipment and lack of support. SSDFs should be made aware and trained on identifying and managing livestock diseases, and prevention strategies for livestock theft should be developed and implemented. The study also recommends that local governments subsidise and support SSDFs to manage and sustain their businesses. Furthermore, the SSDFs should be exposed to agricultural funders in their localities, and access to educational services should be made available for local farmers to receive training towards proposal writing to apply for funds. In future, studies can look at the knowledge and literacy of farmers in sourcing funds to support their dairy farming business.
