No animals or meat products allowed into Namibia from South Africa

Staff Reporter

THE Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform announced that no live animals or meat products are allowed to cross any border from South Africa into Namibia due to the serious Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak in South Africa.

According to the ministry’s Directorate of Veterinary Services, the outbreak could have a catastrophic effect on the country’s FMD Free Zone.

“Republic of South Africa has a serious Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak and this offers a great risk to the FMD Free Zone in Namibia,” the ministry said.

The ministry therefore said that all vehicles entering the country will be searched to ensure that no one tries to bring meat products or livestock across any border.

“Please be very vigilant and ensure that no animals or animal products are moved across the border from South Africa into Namibia,” the ministry said.
