Abstract

This Act provides for animal diseases. Specifically, it states that the Minister of Agriculture may make such regulations as appear to him to be necessary in order to prevent the introduction or spread of diseases amongst stock and other animals. Regulations made under this act may provide for penalties for offences against the regulations, and different penalties for successive offences against the regulations. In addition, where it appears to him to be desirable in the public interest owing to the existence of disease amongst stock, the Minister may fix maximum and minimum wholesale prices and maximum and minimum retail prices, at which any animal, animal product, and anything the movement of which is regulated under section 3 of this act, may be sold within Swaziland or a specified area of Swaziland.
