Abstract

This Act makes provision for the control and prevention of the spread of tsetse flies. The Minister may, by Statutory Notice, declare any defined area to be tsetse fly area or a tsetse fly control area (sect. 3) and by Statutory Order, provide for the introduction of any of the measures specified in section 4 in respect of any tsetse fly area. Such measures include: (a) the destruction of any or all animals not being domestic animals; (b) the cutting, clearing or removal by any means of any trees, timber or vegetation where the continued existence of tsetse flies is, in the opinion of the Minister, shown to be dependent on the presence of such trees, timber or vegetation; (c) the control of bush fires in terms of the Environments Laws for the time being in force; (d) the removal of any persons or domestic animals from the area or any part thereof where, in the opinion of the Minister, such removal is considered necessary for the application of any scheme for the eradication or effective control of tsetse flies; (e) the application of insecticides to clear an area of tsetse flies. Remaining provisions deal with powers of the Minister, powers of authorized officers, indemnity and prescribe penalties. (10 sections)
