Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) has been confirmed at Kalala Island in Zambezi's Kabbe constituency, prompting an immediate suspension of livestock movement, trade and slaughter.

The level of the Zambezi River has been rising rapidly in the past week after a drop of about three metres in the past months.

The floodplains in Kabbe South and North have started receiving flood waters as the Zambezi River started bursting its banks again.
