The disease is incurable in pigs but harmless to humans.

The outbreak killed 32 out of a herd of 36 pigs on a farm in the Ditsobotla district, North West, with the remaining animals slaughtered, the report said.

The outbreak occurred outside SA's control zone for the disease and may be linked to contact with wild animals, the report said. It has spread across China since last year, causing major losses to the world's largest hog herd.
