Cape Argus
|February 11, 2026
LAW enforcement agencies have been drawn into the response to suspected cases of foot-and-mouth disease in parts of the metro, adding to the demands on services already responsible for crime prevention, road safety and emergency response.
FOOT-AND-MOUTH disease-control operations coincided with intensive law enforcement operations across the metro.

The City of Cape Town confirmed that its enforcement agencies assisted provincial veterinary officials with livestock inspections and vaccinations in Mfuleni and Kalksteenfontein over the weekend, following suspected cases of the highly contagious animal disease.
Law Enforcement's Animal Control Unit escorted officials from the Western Cape Agriculture Department into the affected areas on Saturday and Sunday, while traffic and Metro Police officers assisted with roadblocks. The City's Disaster Risk Management Centre activated a Joint Operations Centre to monitor deployments.
