Botswana and Mozambique have banned all poultry meat, eggs and feathers from SA, while Lesotho has banned the import of eggs from Gauteng.
This follows after the initial outbreak of avian influenza on a commercial farm in the East Rand of Johannesburg has now been identified as HPAI H5N1.
Namibia has also banned all imports from the affected areas.
The same farm had also been affected by a 2017 outbreak of avian flu, but a spokesperson for SA Poultry, Christopher Masson says this is not the same strain.
