In July 2014, the NSPCA obtained a warrant to inspect the animals on a farm in the North West Province belonging to Modise after receiving a tip-off that animals on the property had been abandoned.

Modise’s farm was littered with the carcasses of over 50 pigs and other animals such as geese, ducks, sheep and goats.

Over 100 pigs, sheep, chickens and goats were found without food and water and the animals were either dead or dying.

Senior Inspector Grace de Lange, NSPCA Farm Animal Protection Unit Manager, said this was one of the cruellest cases of animal abuse they had ever come across.

“These animals were denied basic minimum care and suffered neglect, starvation and abandonment,” she said.

“The NSPCA is considering a private prosecution.”
