THERE was a time when Oupa Mabote (42) used dogs to guard his yard from robbers.
But these days he prefers geese because they make would-be thieves run for their lives.
Oupa from Bekkersdal, west of Joburg, works as a machine operator at a mine in Westonaria.
He said his family sleeps peacefully at night without worrying about thugs.
He spends less than R500 a month on feeding them. Oupa said he got the geese from his gogo in Magaliesburg for free because she breeds them.
