Iifama zaseMpuma Koloni zivaliwa, kuzanywa ukugonywa izilwanyana ngakwisifo i-FMD.
UMphathiswa wezoLimo, uJohn Steenhuisen, ugxininise ukubaluleka kwe-Bio-security kwintetho yakhe yohlahlo lwabiwo-mali, egxininisa imingcipheko ye-Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) kurhwebo lwasekhaya nolwamazwe ngamazwe. Eli sebe lisebenzisana namahlakani eMpuma Koloni ukulawula ukuvela kweFMD nokuthintela ukunwenwa kwayo. Iinzame zibandakanya iinkqubo zokugonya.
EMpuma Koloni, iifama ezingamashumi amabini anesithathu eHumansdorp kunye nenye eseMonti ezithe zafunyaniswa zine-FMD kwaye zivaliwe zona. Uphando luyaqhuba ukufumanisa imvelaphi kunye nobungakanani besi sifo.
Isebe lifumene izicelo ezingamashumi amane anesithandathu (46) zokugonya iifama ezingosulelwanga, kwavunyelwa ezingamashumi amathandathu (30). Izicelo zogonyo ngokuzithandela ezilishumi elinesixhenxe zisalindile, okwa ngoku kubekwa phambili iifama ezikumgama oziikhilomitha ezilishumi (10) kwiziza ezosulelekileyo. IKomiti yeMisebenzi eHlangeneyo kwi-FMD ijolise ekwandiseni ukhuseleko logonyo ngokukhawuleza.
Amafama ayabongozwa ukuba alandele amanyathelo okhuseleko lwendalo ukukhusela imihlambi yabo.
I-FMD sisifo esilawulwayo esinamanyathelo angqongqo afana nokwahlulwa kunye nolawulo lwentshukumo olunyanzeliswa ziiNkonzo zoNyango lweZilwanyana. Naziphi na iimpawu ezikrokrisayo kufuneka zixelwe koogqirha bezilwanyana bengingqi ngokukhawuleza, kwaye izilwanyana ezichaphazelekayo.
