The government has restricted the movement of cattle in Omaheke's Rietfontein area following an outbreak of lumpy skin disease.

This was confirmed by a state veterinarian, Dr. Seuakouje Veii, in an interview with the nbc News team.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform has partially lifted the restriction on the movement of cloven-hoofed animals and animal products within the Zambezi Region.
