Government lifts restriction ban
26 Apr 2016
The Ministry of Agriculture has lifted the movement restriction of cloven hoofed animals and their products in Zone 11 with immediate effect.
A press release from the ministry states that slaughter facilities are now allowed to kill cloven hoofed animals. Zone 11 includes Kweneng, Kgatleng, Southern, Ramotswa and Tlokweng.
“The lifting of the ban follows completion of all tests on the buffalo which proved negative of the Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) virus and the inspection of all cloven hoofed animals which also proved to be disease free.”
The statement also explains that the search for the possibility of any buffalo has been called off following extensive ground and aerial search that ruled out any presence of buffaloes in Zone 11. ENDS
