HUMANSDORP <\/strong>– All livestock in the Kruisfontein area in Humansdorp have now been successfully vaccinated as part of ongoing efforts to control infection and reduce the possible spread of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kouga Executive Mayor Hattingh Bornman said that to date (18 February), 1,212 livestock have been vaccinated in the area, covering all animals in Kruisfontein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that vaccination of livestock in KwaNomzamo will commence as soon as additional vaccines become available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bornman further said that following the declaration of FMD as a national disaster, Kouga Local Municipality has implemented containment measures within affected areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that a privately owned pound has been established at Farm 865 Mooiuitzicht on the R102, in full compliance with the legislative provisions governing the establishment and operation of pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility spans approximately 4.5 hectares and includes designated grazing camps to accommodate different types of livestock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five larger camps are available for cattle, donkeys, horses and ostriches, while six smaller camps have been set aside for sheep, goats and pigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Designated containment sites have been identified, and any additional sick animals will be relocated to these areas to limit further transmission,” said Bornman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that at this stage, there is no general pound for residents to call, as animal management is being handled through controlled containment and monitoring processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ongoing monitoring and surveillance will continue in neighbouring areas to detect and respond to any potential spread of the disease,” said Bornman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that farmers are strongly urged to restrict the movement of livestock and ensure that animals always remain confined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bornman said that movement of livestock into or out of the Kruisfontein area is strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further said that transportation within or beyond the affected zone may only take place with official permission and the necessary documentation,<\/strong> and unauthorised movement will result in enforcement action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bornman said that fences in Kruisfontein are also being repaired and erected where necessary to strengthen containment efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further said that a sanitation station has been set up to disinfect vehicles entering and leaving the zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the municipality is also assisting with feed for the quarantine camp to support affected livestock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Currently, 58 livestock have tested positive within the isolation camp, while additional cases have been confirmed on private property where animals remain isolated,” said Bornman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that ongoing monitoring and surveillance will continue in neighbouring areas to detect and respond to any potential spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bornman said that two sanitation points remain operational, and the erection of fencing is continuing, with work along the N2 set to begin on 23 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Livestock owners have been actively communicated with regarding FMD. Information is being shared through multiple channels, including social media, WhatsApp, meetings, and face-to-face interactions at their premises,” said Bornman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Kouga Local Municipality remains in constant contact with farmers to ensure they are fully informed and updated.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents are encouraged to report any roaming animals to the Kouga Call Centre at 042 200 2200 or 081 760 9183 (WhatsApp only).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
