TheFreeState’s battle againstfoot-and-mouth disease (FMD) hasintensified after the DepartmentofAgriculture, RuralDevelopment andEnvironmental Affairs confirmed 42 new infections,bringingthe province’s total to 728 confirmed casesand reinforcingconcernsthat the highly contagious livestock disease remains farfromunder control despiteanextensive vaccinationcampaign.
Thelatestcases were confirmed in eightstate veterinary areas, highlightingthe continued spread of the diseaseacrossthe province
Newinfections were recorded in Kroonstad (six), Frankfort(seven), Heilbron (one), Warden (two), Welkom (three), Fauresmith (five), Bloemfontein (three), Bultfontein (10) and Boshof (five). While theoutbreakremainsactive, provincial authorities saydisease-controlefforts arebeginningtoshowresults
Of the 728confirmed cases, 317 outbreaks have been successfully resolved,allowing quarantine restrictions to be liftedonaffected properties onceall prescribed disease-control measures hadbeencompleted
Kroonstadremains the province’s worstaffectedstate veterinary area with 125 confirmed cases, followedbyHeilbron(95), Frankfort (81), Bethlehem(67), Sasolburg(64),Boshof (49), Welkom,Ladybrand (46 each), Warden (45), Bultfontein (35), QwaQwa (29), Smithfield (16), Bloemfontein (15), Fauresmith (13) and ThabaNchu(2).
More than 1,32 million cattle have been vaccinated under the nationalrisk-basedvaccination programme usingthe Biogenesis Bago and

It warnedthatimmediatereportingisboth alegal obligation under the Animal DiseasesAct (Act 35 of 1984) and GovernmentGazette No.54969, publishedon8July, as well as acritical component of disease surveillance,quarantine and outbreak control.

“Thesuccessful controlofthis outbreak depends on the cooperation of everylivestock ownerand stakeholder,” the departmentsaid, urgingthe agricultural sector to remain vigilant and continue supportingefforts to protectthe Free State’slivestock industry.

“Ons is watons herhaaldelik doen. Uitnemendheid is dus nie ’n daad nie,maar’ngewoonte.”
Só hetdie Griekse filosoofAristoteles eeue gelede geskryf.
Dieselfde geld vir die manier waarop ons na ons dorpeomsien.
Kinders leer immersnie uit toesprake nie; hulle leer uit dit wat hulleelkedag sien.
Wanneer ’n jong kind grootword tussen netjiesestrate, versorgde parkeenmensewat rommel optel
eerder as neergooi,wordrespekvir die omgewing vanself deel vansyof haar karakter
Maar wanneer verval, verwaarlosingenonverskilligheid die norm word,begin kindersglo dat dit eenvoudigishoe ’n dorp lyken behoorttewees.
Oordie afgelopedekades het talle klein dorpe oorSuid-Afrika heen geleidelik agteruitgegaan. Stukkende sypaadjies,toegegroeide erwe,beskadigdeinfrastruktuur en openbareruimteswat hulglans verloorhet,het virbaieinwoners alledaagsgeword.

“Jymoetdie Here jouGod liefhê met jouhele hart en met jouhele siel en met jouheleverstand. Dit is die grootste en die eerste gebod
“Endie tweede,wat hiermee gelykstaan, is:Jymoetjou naaste liefhê soos jouself.Inhierdie twee gebooie is die hele wetendie profete saamgevat.”(Lukas10:27)
Die wetgeleerde se vraagiseintlik: Waaroorgaandie lewe regtig?
Om Jesusseantwoordteverstaan, moet ons begryp: lewe is nie onderhoudingvan reëlsenregulasies nie,maarriglyne viroorvloedlewe. Jesussewoorde“In hierdie
twee gebooieisdie hele wetendie profetesaamgevat,” betekendat allesindie lewe deur vertikale en horisontale lyne bepaal word Jesusselewesimboliseerhierdie waarheid. Sy diepstekaraktertrek is nie net gehoorsaamheid aandie Vader (vertikaal) nie,maarook vrygewigheid en seën aanmense (horisontaal). Hy hetdit in goeie en slegte tyegevolg. Dit is Jesusse Goddelikesiening. Gebruik jy moeilikheid as verskoning om jouwil te doen of soek jy die vertikale en horisontale lyne (wat gelykstaan)?
