The foot and mouth outbreak was reported in the Molemole Municipal area, north of Polokwane in Limpopo, in late 2019of livestock due to the outbreak of foot and mouth disease is having a negative impact on the economy. The outbreak was reported in the Molemole Municipal area, north of Polokwane in Limpopo, in late 2019.

The spokesperson for livestock auctioneers, Paul van Vuuren, says they want buffer zones to be strengthened. “We’ve got a huge workforce of over 700 000 people and it can cost us over R3 million per month; we’re already over R9 million in the red. I think the government, the ministry, was given the wrong advice. The government is losing millions of rands because of the ban. We take every month R3-R5 million in VAT; at the moment, we are paying nothing and the people are suffering.”
