SA is battling 56 cases of foot and mouth disease (FMD) at farms and communal areas in the Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, North West and Gauteng.

“I call on all citizens of SA to stop the illegal movement of animals out of FMD-affected areas. The damage caused by continued FMD outbreaks have a severe negative impact on the economy of the country, as well as the individual animal owners,” Didiza said.

She said a 49-year-old man was arrested at Masisi in the Vhembe district of Limpopo for bringing goats from the FMD-controlled zone into the free zone. Another case where animals were illegally moved from an FMD-controlled area to auctions in two provinces is under investigation. Didiza said laboratory testing confirmed an outbreak of FMD between Potchefstroom and Ventersdorp in the North West. Disease investigations by the North West provincial veterinary services found that the virus had spread to adjacent farms within a 10km radius.

FMD-positive farms were also detected in Gauteng and the Free State through tracing from an auction near Potchefstroom, which took place in March and from direct sales from infected farms before the infections were detected.

Call out the tribal chauvinists who would take SA down the road to darknessThe anti-Venda insults levelled at Ramaphosa at the time of the unrest are a symptom of tribalistic cancer, writes Mike Siluma. He said ethnic mobilization, n stood by it. What did he expect? Mxm.. R1500 My President need to understand that every citizen in Mzansi need to be accounted for. Thats if we are serious about crime reduction. Its got nothing to do with apartheid.
