While the Police in Phitshane Molopo are complaining that communities continue to disregard protocols set to contain the disease by crossing at times carrying meat at ungazetted areas, veterinary officials lament that they continue to confiscate meat and meat products, especially from truck drivers.
Speaking to Mmegi, Superintendent Pearl Nkele of Phitshane Molopo police, lamented that people from the policing area, which consists mostly of villages along the South Africa - Botswana borderline, continue to cross the border at ungazetted areas as they used to do before the FMD outbreak in South Africa and some areas in the Good Hope District.
