Annette Steyn, Shadow Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
The Department of Agriculture this week released a warning that farmers should start vaccinating against Rift Valley Fever (RVF). But Onderstepoort Biological Products (OBP), the state-run institution responsible for producing livestock vaccines, does not have any in stock. This is further evidence of the institutional dysfunction prevalent in the department under Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson and her inability to coordinate between various agricultural entities.
