What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Namibia and South Africa are negotiating protocols to resume livestock auctions involving Namibian animals. These auctions were suspended last month due to a foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in Namibia. Technical officials from both countries held an online meeting to discuss the procedures needed to restart the trade.
