MEMORABLE QUOTES
“Fortunately, stars shine brightest
during the darkest of hours. I know
you will continue to illuminate our
sky, even through the storms and
clouds. Your legacy will be an
uplifting beacon from which we
can continue to draw guidance
and strength during difficult
times…You loved our people
unconditionally and sacrificed
so much for our freedom. It is my
prayer that as befitting tributes
are paid to you both at home and
abroad, all of us will internalise the
values you helped to mould and
birth into existence. Thank you for
your brilliant wisdom, your fierce
defiance and your stylish beauty.”

guided me a lot”.

red and black Holstein Friesian.
This breed has the potential
capacity to produce 10,000
litres in a year. The challenge
is that to achieve this, it needs
much input such as to give
proper feeds, good housing
structure and enough water as
well best animal husbandry.
Farmers can get good pedigree
semen sourced from the bulls
with known history such as
Danshot, Heuvel Bulykin, Montruex,
Red cliff, Red Torpedo and
