Plans to move the Veterinary Cordon Fence, which is also known as the Red Line, further north are in place.

This was recently announced by the Minister of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform, Carl Schlettwein, who declared some northern areas that were previously impacted by the fence disease-free.

A team of veterinary experts is in the Zambezi Region on a fact-finding mission to establish the cause of cattle deaths in the flood plains of the region.

Earlier, the Ministry of Agriculture confirmed hemorrhagic septicemia as the cause.
