The Ministry of Agriculture says the origins of the buffalo that led to a two-week ban on the movement of cloven-hoofed animals and slaughtering in Zone 11 are still unknown.

The ministry announced Tuesday that they have lifted the movement protocol and allowed slaughtering of the cloven-hoofed animals, after the completion of all tests on the buffalo proved negative of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD).

The ministry also said they have completed the inspection and surveillance to ascertain that here is no FMD threat in the zone. Zone 11 covers Kweneng, Kgatleng, Southern and South East.
