The climate in the Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape in South Africa has made cultivating dagga (cannabis sativa) popular since people settled here centuries ago. Dagga is a staple of traditional medicine, used as medicinal tea and given to sick people and livestock for a variety of ailments. 500 hectares of cannabis fields in villages have been sprayed with the herbicide Kilo Max. The active ingredient in Kilo Max is glyphosate. "The helicopters came and sprayed something here that is making our people and livestock sick."
