Court Orders South Africa to Publish Foot-and-Mouth Vaccine Rules

High Court Orders South Africas Agriculture Department to Publish New Foot-and-Mouth Disease Vaccine Rules Within Three Weeks

Farmer groups Sakeliga, the Southern African Agri Initiative, and Free State Agriculture have won a lawsuit against the South African government, which ordered the agriculture department to publish new foot-and-mouth disease vaccine rules within three weeks. The groups argue that the government is blocking private vaccine purchases without proper regulations in place during a major livestock outbreak. The state insists on overseeing everything under the Animal Diseases Act to avoid chaos, but the private sector worries animals are dying while waiting for government action. The case now pauses until April twenty-eighth for review.
