AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

FMD Alarm at the Border: South Africa and Botswana have endorsed an emergency 2026–2028 Foot-and-Mouth Disease action plan, with Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen urging urgent rollout—vaccination drives, tighter livestock movement controls, surveillance, and properly maintained border fences—to stop delays from triggering fresh outbreaks and trade losses. Regional Vaccine Push: The Bi-National Commission also backed deeper cooperation on animal vaccine development, including work between South Africa’s Agricultural Research Council and Botswana’s Vaccine Institute. Health Integrity in Sport: Ahead of Botswana’s opening match in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa qualifier, Sierra Leone players were briefed on anti-corruption and anti-doping rules, with warnings tied to betting contacts. Community Resilience: In Hwange, Zimbabwe’s Matetsi garden project is being praised as a model for water access and food security through community-based farming. Public Health Pressure Elsewhere: Lesotho reports a deadly African Horse Sickness outbreak killing 30+ horses, while authorities warn Basotho not to eat dead cattle amid FMD fears.
