Dear WRSA Members,

The Chief Director of the Zimbabwe Directorate of Veterinary Services, Dr Pious Makaya, has lifted the ban on the importation of cloven-hoofed animals and their products from the following South African provinces to Zimbabwe:

• Gauteng
• North West
• Northern Cape
• Western Cape

This decision was announced following recommendations in the FMD Risk Assessment Report compiled by laboratory experts.

Please note that no import permits will be issued for any of the other South African provinces, as they remain under restriction pending further assessments.

Kind regards,
WRSA
