Mdzananda Animal Clinic in Khayelitsha is both a free clinic for the township’s pet owners and a pet adoption centre. “It is often of the opinion that people in townships should not own pets. We have a different opinion. Anyone who visits Mdzananda has the pleasure of meeting owners who adore their animals,” says the clinic’s website. Masixole Feni went to visit.
