After all the leases expired and Bono left the farm in October 2017, Prof Sinclair offered to the Department to speak to the beneficiaries and try to ascertain what the issues were and how these could be resolved. [...] 2018: At the NAM PO Bredasdorp Show Competition we were awarded the overall prize for the best merino sheep at the show, while our other sheep also obtained the second to the fifth prices on the show; 87.2. [...] Most of the former beneficiaries who had contracts on the farms that made up Plateau Farm, attended the meeting, and the few who could not make it were invited to attend at the Department's office in Beaufort West afterwards to gain access to the information. [...] They were appointed as the Caretakers on the Plateau farms and they were farming on the farms since the acquisition of the land in 2007 and 2008. [...] They took responsibility for the maintenance of the properties and they contributed a lot to the breeding of the merino sheep and wool production.
