A poultry farm in the Worcester area is under quarantine after its chickens tested positive for bird flu.
A bird flu outbreak was first detected in Gauteng last month where at least two farms in the East Rand have been affected.
The affected farm in Worcester is under quarantine, and the process of humanely culling the affected chickens is underway.
The Western Cape government says the culling of infected birds is the current practice in most regions of the world.
The provincial government has urged the public and the agricultural sector to help prevent the spread of this disease, which could threaten South Africa s poultry industry.
