suspended the provision of a range of services from December 1, “due to circumstances beyond their control”. These include movement permits for horses countrywideAny stoppage of the movement of horses between provinces will seriously affect the Cape summer racing season. It could mean Summer Pudding may not be able to travel to the Cape for the Sun Met.

Vee Moodley, CEO of the National Horseracing Authority, has confirmed that discussions with the SAEHP and the department of agriculture are “ongoing until a solution on the movement of horses is found”.
