Elderly woman evicted from Cando Farm still homeless

Breadcrumb

Priskilla Dausas, 71, who was evicted from Cando Farm three years ago, is still homeless.

Dausas was moved next to the fence opposite the road when the new farm owner, with no use for new workers, took over.

At the time, Dausas recalls that she had many farm animals, but their numbers have dwindled with time, moving further away from Farm Cando each time.

She is currently placed near neighbouring Farm Paloma in the Omatako District, but the pensioner says she cannot stay here as cattle theft is on the rise in the area.

Amseb Family evicted from private farm

A group of generational farm workers of the Amseb Family has been evicted from the private farm Yellowbank, in the Gobabis Constituency of Omaheke Region, which belonged to the late Rudolf Liebenberg.

The group was at one point allowed to stay temporarily at Farm Yellowbank after the constituency office and traditional leaders intervened.

The family says they have lived on the farm for more than 40 years, as they spent six days outside in the corridor to the farm with their livestock, waiting for the government to relocate them.
