“Ngalesi isikhathi izifuyo ezigoqela inkomo, imbuzi, izimvu labobabhemi zidinga ukunakekelwa ngalesi isikhathi sezulu. Kumele zibe lendawo ezibayeni lapho ezingacatshela khona izulu (ama-sheds) lapho ezizenelisa ukucatsha ukuze zinganethwa lokuthi zingatshaywa yisiqhotho nxa kusina izilu lesiqhotho.
“Okunye okumele sikwenze yikuvikela izifuyo kuma-tick-borne diseases, umkhuhlane obizwa ngokuthi yi-theileriosis ovame ngokuthi yi-January Disease. Imikhaza yiyo ebangela imikhuhlane le njalo imikhaza ibaminengi ngesikhathi sezulu nxa phansi kumanzi.

“Yikho okwenza izifuyo ezinengi zikhuphe ubulongwe obungamanzi ngalesi isikhathi sezulu. Ngakho-ke ngilikhuthaza ukuthi asisikenini utshani lobu sibuchaye bome lithi selibunika izifuyo,” kuphetha uMnu Nyoni.
