The NP Tracker suspect and suspicious national vehicle lookup system pioneers designed and developed the stock theft reporting and identification system available to the crime-fighting community. For more information on NP Tracker, visit https://www.nptracker.co.za.

We have created https://www.veediefstal.co.za and https://www.stocktheft.co.za to effectively document reported stock theft incidents. This is not intended to replace the South African Police service but to supplement it and raise awareness about the stock theft pandemic in South Africa. This initiative aims to empower the crime-fighting community by providing a platform to combat crime more efficiently.

In the 2017 financial year, stock theft cost the South African economy an estimated R1.3 billion, with over 29,000 reported cases. This issue disproportionately affects developing farmers, sometimes more severely than established farm owners.

The Animal Identification Act of 2002 addresses the problem by facilitating the identification (marking) of animals. Administered by the Minister of Health, the act aims to regulate and oversee animal identification.

Our website and associated platform serve two main functions:

  • Animal Marking to Owner Lookup Service: Livestock should be marked to identify owners, but this information is often lacking in the private sector. Our platform bridges this gap, enabling the identification and follow-up related to suspicious trading of animals.
  • Open Reporting and Trend Analysis: Our system provides accurate reporting and trend analysis of incidents. This is crucial as official reporting mechanisms can sometimes be misused or misrepresented.

  3. Select your marking type.
