An interesting innovation that often referred to as the ‘Home Affairs for cows’, has become a successful innovation that helps farmers. Leruo is an innovative mobile application that prevents cattle theft, enables market access and ensures compliance. The app uses facial recognition technology and helps smallscale farmers register and track their cattle. The platform also connects farmers with formal markets, provides compliance checks and offers insights on herd performance. Lerato Mbele spoke to founder and CEO, Tumelo Makgaka.
