February 09, 2026
|Cape Times
AN INVESTIGATION is underway to determine the extent of the Foot-and-Mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in the Mbekweni area near Paarl and to establish what control measures will be required to prevent further spread.
Provincial authorities also said suspected cases have been reported and inspected in George, Mossel Bay, Mfuleni, Makhaza, and Kalkfontein.
“Blood samples have been collected and sent to the laboratory, and the Department will commence vaccination in the area with immediate effect,” Premier Alan Winde and Agriculture, Economic Development and Tourism MEC Dr Ivan Meyer said in a joint statement.
The provincial government announced it will set aside R100 million to procure enough vaccine doses to protect livestock.
“We are acting swiftly with all stakeholders to get ahead of this outbreak,” Winde said.
