According to Google Arts and Culture, in many southern African indigenous cultures, cattle are sacred beings whose spiritual and aesthetic significance is of great importance in understanding socio-economic relations amongst different ethnic groups.

Several Mzansi peeps could relate to Thenjiwe’s family drama as they responded with similar experiences in the comments section.

@patriotismSP commented:

“I can relate. Once looked for my uncle's donkey for a whole week. Never mind he always complained about it being lazy..to this day he died not knowing what happened to it..a month after his death Mr Donkey rocks up unbothered at his house like nothing happened.”

“ I’m sorry for laughing - but I can imagine the scenery and uncle’s unbearable emotions .”

“Cows are actually part of your home once you have them, so I understand your uncle, I would also die .”

@Mzulu__ responded:

“Yohhh ayke kushubile and it's the wrong days to lose a cow.”

@Fifi_dvc commented:

“It might’ve been one of his breeding stock...we look at that and the breed. If that’s the case I’m with your uncle coz it’s difficult finding a good replacement for breeding stock.”

@Sabsy01 said:

“A cow cost 12k or 14k these days. If someone can scam you that amount you will be all over the TL crying.”

@VincentiaThuli wrote:

“It's not funny, my grandmother died from heartbreak from her cows going missing. These are investments, they value them the way you value your money and cars. You even have trackers and you will be hurt instead of easily buying a new car.”

In another story, Briefly News reported that a nursery rhyme about a cow jumping over the moon has been quite popular, but this unorthodox bovine preferred to jump over a wall instead.

@VehicleTrackerz posted the clip and implied that the cow had been hitting the gym. Peeps didn't have words for the Twitter post, with many just serving tons of emojis to express their disbelief.

The post shared by @VehicleTrackerz is not the type of content the account usually posts, and the video itself isn't common. Cows are generally slow and docile creatures that couldn't be bothered by any rigorous activity, except for this athletic bovine.
