Government downplays concerns over infectious disease after sheep loaded onto livestock carrier

The Eastern Cape government has downplayed fears that thousands of sheep loaded onto the livestock carrier Al Messilah, destined for Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for slaughter, may be carrying an infectious disease after cases of ecthyma were detected at a feedlot where they were kept. This comes after the National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) raised the alarm over the infectious disease.
