[WATCH] It’s all about the cattle during Ramaphosa’s visit with the Royals
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hit the bulls-eye when they gavePresident Cyril Ramaphosa a gift close to his heart.
“I heard you like cattle?” asked Prince Harry.
Ramaphosa reacted with a big smile: “Yes, you heard about the cattle!”
“This is beautiful,” responded Ramaphosa after Prince Harry handed him a one-of-a kind framed image of cattle photographed by world-renowned African conservationist Pete Morkel.
The couple visited Ramaphosa and first lady Tshepo Motsepe on the final day of their Southern Africa tour on Wednesday at the Mahlamba Ndlopfu Residence in Tshwane.
Ramaphosa didn’t come emptyhanded either and gave the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a signed copy of his book ‘Cattle of the Ages: Ankole Cattle in South Africa’.
He boasted about his herd, cattle from Uganda that were brought to South Africa through embryo transfer.
The embryos were first taken to Kenya where they were artificially inseminated.
“They are unbelievable cattle,” as Ramaphosa paged through the book featuring his more than 250 cattle.
Ramaphosa is said to be the single biggest Ankole farmer in the country.
