Local farmers have welcomed government decision to ban the importation of cloven-hoofed animals and their products from South Africa.
The governmentâs decision comes after tests were carried out on cattle with suspicious lesions at a communal location in Mtumatuba in Kwazulu Natal province.
Botswana National Beef Producers Union (BNBPU) Spokesperson Andrew Seeletso said the temporary ban will strengthen the local supply especially of bulls.
âBotswana has done much more than South Africa and other countries in terms of disease and that is why we are able to supply the European Union and they cannot even though their cattle industry is more developedâ
