TWO missing German Shorthaired Pointers. They went missing last night around 8pm near the Breede River, close to Felix Unite. One is a neutered and chipped male (Sable) and the other is an unspayed female (Sussie).
They are new to the area so we are very worried they may have followed the river or crossed onto a neighbouring farm. If anyone brings in two dogs matching their description, or if anyone phones to report sightings, please contact me immediately on 0727232727.

MEDIA RELEASE BY THE WESTERN CAPE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

7 NOVEMBER 2025

FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE CONFIRMED ON FARM NEAR GOUDA – QUARANTINE AND CONTROL MEASURES UNDERWAY
On 6 November 2025, Western Cape Veterinary Services confirmed a case of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) on a farm near Gouda.
The affected property has been placed under quarantine, along with two other properties in the Velddrif and Bredasdorp areas from where cattle are believed to have been moved to the Gouda farm. All properties with cloven-hoofed animals within a 10 km radius of the affected area have also been quarantined. Veterinary teams are conducting thorough inspections and surveillance on these farms.
An investigation into the transport company involved is currently underway, and all properties that have had contact with this company in the past 30 days will be traced and inspected.
Foot-and-Mouth Disease is a controlled animal disease in South Africa. While it poses no risk to humans, it is highly contagious among cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. The virus spreads easily through direct animal contact or indirectly via contaminated vehicles, equipment, clothing, or feed.
To prevent further spread of the disease, Western Cape Veterinary Services urges all livestock owners not to move any cloven-hoofed animals while the extent of the outbreak is being assessed. Any movement of livestock into or within the province must be reported via https://tinyurl.com/AnimalMovementApp. By law, such movement must be accompanied by:
• An owner’s declaration of origin and health status; and
• A recipient’s declaration confirming that the animals will be isolated for at least 28 days upon arrival.
Both forms are available at https://www.elsenburg.com/veterinary-services/animal-health-and-disease-control/.
For further information on Foot-and-Mouth Disease and the contact details of Veterinary Services offices in the Western Cape, visit:
