Buffalo invasion contained, FMD probe continues

The investigation means villagers in large parts of the Nata/Gweta constituency will continue to languish under the livestock movement restrictions imposed recently, after the buffaloes strayed into the area from the neighbouring Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe.

Agriculture Minister, Fidelis Molao explained that the prolonged imposed lockdown, which reportedly is affecting 300,000 cattle in the area, was because of the incubation period of FMD.
