With government having spent close to N$100 million to successfully deal with the recent outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD), all this effort might soon be in vain as some local farmers in the Kavango regions have resorted to cross-border grazing. This while it remains unclear whether neighbouring Angola has dealt with its FMD outbreak successfully.
Chief veterinary officer in the agriculture ministry, Dr Albertina Shilongo, yesterday said the ministry was aware of the outbreak of FMD in the southern part of Angola, however, there has been no report on whether that country vaccinated its livestock and has been declared FMD-free.
