# Information sessions held by the Western Cape Department of Agriculture on the increasing incidence of swine fever in the Southern Cape have been well attended. A spokesperson, Daniel Johnson, says the George leg was addressed by veterinarian Leana Janse van Rensburg, who focused on the disease, while technical adviser Sarah Chirwa, of the Pig Improvement Company, focused on biosecurity. An estimated 300 pigs have died since the outbreak of swine flu in the Garden Route after cases were first recorded last week. The first single case were recorded in KwaNonqaba, Mossel Bay.
