Since suspending the auction of pigs in the province, the department has managed to successfully prevent the further spread of the virus.

Owners, auctioneers and the public at large are warned against buying and selling pigs at auctions to prevent the further spreading of the African Swine Fever .

According to the department spokesperson Zimasa Leputla, since suspending the auction of pigs in the province, the department has managed to successfully prevent the further spread of the virus. “The facilitation was achieved through the veterinary and para-veterinary personnel of the department conducting health inspections at farms, following which pig owners would complete health declarations to submit their pigs for slaughter at local abattoirs,” explained Leputla.
