The Ankole cattle breed is known for its lean meat, majestic horns and excellent milk.
The highly sought-after cattle has been on everyone's lips since one of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Ankole cows sold for R2.1m last year.
Ramaphosa’s brother-in-law Patrice Motsepe paid R4.7m for four Ankole female cows. The most expensive of the lot cost him R2.1m.
The breed has also been mentioned when talking about Ramaphosa's political fight for the ANC presidency and his Phala Phala scandal.
While many joined in the wishes, others weighed in on Holomisa's “spicy” message.
