THE FUSE

Efforts to contain Foot and Mouth Disease in Limpopo continue to gain momentum, with targeted interventions being implemented across high risk farming zones. One of the latest activities took place at Vlieland Boerdery, located within the Capricorn North Western Agro Ecological Zone. The farm has become an active site in the province’s coordinated disease control programme, reflecting the importance of both commercial and communal farming operations in managing outbreaks. Authorities are focusing on practical actions that directly reduce the risk of disease spread. These include vaccination campaigns, surveillance and close collaboration with farmers on the ground.
