When Tsakani Kevin Khoza realised that he was selling cows to the same clients who had bereavements almost every second week, he thought it must be costly for them and decided to create packages to ease the burden.
Not only did it save his business – Simunye Livestock – as he often had to give clients discounts but it went a long way in ensuring that grieving families are not hit in the pocket anymore.
“I created these packages because I did not want to see my clients struggle to put money together during a difficult time in their lives. These policies also prevent people from going to loan sharks when there is a bereavement at home.” “What I do is, I get in touch with a farmer where you are and tell them that I want a cow weighing 380kg. We don’t offer any cow weighing less than that.He said they offer slaughtering the cow at an extra cost and you choose whether this should be done at home or at the farm.
“We are looking at including a package with a tombstone. The packages I offer have brought relief to my clients as they no longer pay for funerals from their own pockets,” Khoza said.
