This episode looks at meat production and the feedlot system in particular. Mvalo Msiza lost his job due to retrenchment in the 1980s. He started his own business by opening a small tuck shop. Today he owns two butcheries which he supplies with meat from his own feedlot. Mvalo used his savings to buy his own cattle. His farm, near Rust de Winter, belonged to the KwaNdebele government during the old homeland system. Along with his brother he now leases this land from the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform. We also visit the Roedtan abattoir in Limpopo province, and we speak to Dr Boitshoko Ntshabele about meat safety regulations
