Gov’t erects new containment fence to combat FMD

Launching the exercise here on Saturday, Assistant Minister for State President, Defence and Security, Maipelo Mophuting-Dikoloti, described the project as a crucial step towards safeguarding farmers' livelihoods and preserving Botswana's reputation as a premium beef exporter.

"Today, we are not merely launching a fence; we are drawing a firm line to protect our national herd, secure access to premium international markets, and preserve the agricultural legacy that sustains our rural economy and provides food security for our nation," she said.
