A Mzansi man is drawing the notice of those on social media after he took to the streets to share a video doing what most other parents wish to do for their kids.

Heading to Twitter HQ, @OleLekgetho tweeted a short clip with a profound caption that immediately caught the attention of his nearly 14 000 followers on the platform.

The short clip shows four children excitedly heading to the kraal or enclosure where the livestock is kept. One of the kids is seen using a 500 ml cold drink bottle to apply a liquid that likely contained a parasiticide to treat the cattle against parasites.

The farmer, who doesn't appear in the 17-second clip but whose voice can be heard as he continues to instruct the children on how to go about doing things, has likely created a niche out of pastoral farming, which, different from arable farming, concentrates on livestock rather than crops.

Pastoral farming is aimed at producing livestock, including dairy or beef cattle and sheep. Another form not seen in the video is mixed farming, which incorporates livestock and crops on a single farm.

Farmer celebrates 40-hectare land investment

Elsewhere, Briefly News previously reported on a young farmer with the Twitter handle, @new_shana, after he headed onto the popular app to share a heartwarming celebration post.

At the time, the farmer claimed to have invested in 40 hectares of farming land – something he said was made possible through blood, sweat, and tears. In the highly inspirational post, the young man explained that he was working overtime to find people to invest in the property.

"A 40-hectare investment. Blood and Sweat!!! Going insane looking for investors Some investors pulling out midsession! This coming season we double our production! 100 hectares here we come!!! #FarmingWithShana," he captioned some snaps of the beautiful farm.
