“When we had trouble with our boilers, in Lobatse–it was decided to route non-EU eligible cattle from the green zones to the Maun abattoir – to allow Lobatse to focus on EU slaughter. The Maun abattoir could carry the load but had been under-utilised. Accordingly, and to protect the wider beef market and to assist as many farmers as possible, using the extra abattoir capacity in Maun was the only viable avenue to effectively accommodating both non-EU slaughter from Ngamiland as well as those routed from the green zones.”
