The Pest Control Police, a subsidiary of MpeteM General Trading, has solved many pest problems of government institutions, private companies, and individual clients who requested our service. The company is 100% black-owned and ventured into the agricultural sector to help contribute to the market where black people work. Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi has banned sales of the pesticide terbufos at spaza shops and informal traders, after the deaths of 23 children in the province this year. Anyone wanting authorisation to use the poison – frequently used to kill rodents – would now have to go through the provincial Agriculture Department. The announcement follows revelations last month from Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi that terbufos had killed six children in Naledi. Thabiso Tema spoke with Mathews Mpete, Founding Director of The Pest Control Police.
