💨 Abstract

The upcoming episode of "Carte Blanche" on February 1 explores the escalating foot-and-mouth disease crisis in South Africa, a highly contagious livestock illness. The outbreak has led to halted livestock sales, postponed auctions, and a lockdown-like situation for farmers. Vaccination is crucial but supply is limited, raising questions about vaccine management. Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen discusses the government's plans to contain the outbreak and support farmers.
