Chairperson, I give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes the recent outbreak of the highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease in northern KwaZulu-Natal;
2) further notes the impact that this will have on the province's meat industry and free export status of the farmers, as well as the rise in already high food price inflation; and
3) calls on the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to immediately implement vaccination protocols and to control the movement of these infected animals.
