Foot & Mouth Disease Outbreak in Botswana?

Posted on Selfdrive4x4.com:

We have just returned from a trip to Botswana and there is an outbreak of foot and mouth. As a result you are not able to take any meat in.
We were travelling up to Chobe and thought that we could purchase meat from a contact near Francistown but he advised that we would be stopped on our way up to Kasane and boy was he right. From Nata to Kasane there are two vet fences where you need to get your shoes and your cars dipped.
The EU had cancelled import of beef so all export quality meat that was meant for the EU was sent to the Spar at Kasane - apprantly 200 tons of it. And yes, when we got there we were able to purchase fantastic quality meat.
Best bet is to purchase meat at your destination if possible. Otherwise check the maps carefully for vet fences and purchase meat in the area of your destination.

Es Grüsst, Hans

hi,

auf anfrage bei 'ner cattle transport company in gobabis,welche kuehe nach rsa exportiert,is nichts von maul und klauenseuche bekannt.

rsa macht sofort die grenzen fuer ueber botswana importierte kuehe dicht wenn es denn so waere und die lkws muessten ueber ariamsvlei/nakop einreisen.
dem ist aber im moment nicht so.

wer es aber genauer wissen will: naftali 0813298946 oder michael 0813366334 vom verterinaer guys am buite pos grenzuebergang.
