# The Department of Agriculture has confirmed a case of African Horse Sickness in the Cederberg in the Western Cape. Movement restrictions have been imposed. The virus was detected in one horse, and no permits will be issued to move horses out of the affected area. Minister Willie Aucamp urged horse owners to report symptoms and avoid vaccinating their animals during this period, as this could worsen the spread of the disease.
