Foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak has resulted into a meat import ban issued by the Ministry of Agriculture.

The ban is for meat imports from South Africa, against all cloven hooved animals from SA, as other known infected countries’ meat imports will face a temporary suspension of issuance of livestock movement.

FMD is a highly contagious disease, which is why the Ministry has intensified awareness among animal traders, livestock farmers and the general public.
