MANZINI - Following the ban on slaughtering animals at their premises, local
butchery owners have formed a five-member interim committee that will be
responsible for taking care of their issues.
The committee was set up yesterday at a meeting the butchery owners hosted in
order to find a way forward following a ban by the Director of Veterinary
Services Xolani Dlamini that prohibits the owners from slaughtering animals at
their butchery premises. The committee will be responsible for liaising with the
minister of Agriculture’s office to find a way forward and present to him the
challenges they are currently facing regardless of the fact that the minister
lifted the ban. Another responsibility the committee will have will be to help
influence policymaking in the long-run by making contributions on behalf of the
butchery owners.
The committee has representatives from all the four Regions of the country.
