Die minister van Landbou, John Steenhuisen, het die bek-en-klouseer-taakspan verdedig te midde van 'n ondersoek deur parlementslede oor sy mandaat en geheimhouding. Steenhuisen het voor die parlementêre portefeuljekomitee oor Landbou gesê die span bestaan uit veeartsenykundige en wetenskaplike deskundiges wat tegniese raad gee om die regering se optrede te lei. Hy sê sensitiewe entstofinligting vereis vertroulikheid, en die span help die bestaande regeringstrukture en vervang dit nie:
Landbouminister John Steenhuisen het die eerste besending van een-miljoen bek-en-klouseer-entstofdosisse amptelik ontvang. Dit het van Biogénesis Bagó in Argentinië op die OR Tambo Internasionale Lughawe in Kemptonpark, Ekurhuleni, aangekom. Steenhuisen sê die entstowwe is ʼn keerpunt in die beskerming van Suid-Afrika se lewendehawe-bedryf. Hy sê nog vyf-miljoen dosisse van drie internasionale verskaffers sal teen einde Maart in die land ontvang word:
Die minister van Landbou, John Steenhuisen, sê die regering sal die verspreiding van bek-en-klouseer-entstof versnel om die uitbreking te bekamp en biosekerheid te verskerp om vee en boere te beskerm. Die regering sê hy wil die hele nasionale kudde van 14-miljoen inent waarvoor hy ongeveer 28-miljoen entstofdosisse nodig het. Steenhuisen het gister toesig gehou oor die inentingsveldtog in die Wes-Kaap, en sê die doel is dat Suid-Afrika die eerste keer sedert 2019 weer internasionaal as bek-en-klouseer-vry verklaar word:
In the latest NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn, US intelligence analyst, retired Colonel Chris Wyatt comments on the likelihood of US President Donald Trump imposing personal sanctions on some South African politicians in the face of continued provocation from the African National Congress (ANC); President Cyril Ramaphosa's SONA speech; his decision to send in the military to fight crime; the crime cartel infiltrated SAPS; the performance of Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen who has abandoned his bid for re-election as Democratic Alliance (DA) leader; as well as the bad treatment received by some of the 2,000 odd South African refugees that have gone to America.
Die uittredende leier van die DA, John Steenhuisen, ontken berigte dat hy uit die leierskapstryd gedwing is. Hy het verlede week aangekondig dat hy nie in April vir 'n derde termyn gaan staan nie. Die Helen Zille-faksie het hom glo oorreed om te onttrek weens kritiek oor sy hantering van die bek-en-klouseer-uitbreking as minister van Landbou. Steenhuisen het aan die SABC gesê hy het bereik wat hy wou:

The ANC Study Group on Agriculture has rejected the Democratic Alliance's claim that Minister John Steenhuisen single‑handedly revived local Foot‑and‑Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccine production after 21 years. The ANC says the groundwork was laid under its 6th administration, with Agricultural Research Council scientists already developing strains from 2010 to 2018 and registering a vaccine in 2023. The ANC adds that former Minister Thoko Didiza's 2022 nationwide cattle‑movement ban helped contain earlier outbreaks, while current outbreaks have persisted since 2025. Elvis Presslin spoke to ANC Whip of the Study Group on Agriculture, Sharon Davids
Die uittredende DA-leier John Steenhuisen het gewaarsku dat enige toekomstige besluit om die regering van nasionale eenheid te verlaat, katastrofies kan wees. Hy het verlede week aangekondig dat hy nie vir 'n derde termyn by die party se verkiesingskongres in April sal staan nie. Kritici sê sommige van die kandidate wat die leierspos kan oorneem, is teen die koalisie-ooreenkoms. Steenhuisen het sy besluit om by die RNE aan te sluit in City Press verdedig en gesê dit was die regte ding vir die DA om te doen:

Agriculture author and expert Wandile Sihlobo tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge that Agriculture mMinister John Steenhuisen has not option but to import foot and mouth vaccines through a centralised operation, despite the threats from many farmers to challenge him in court to fight for the right to do the vaccinations themselves. “We can't now produce any vaccines,” he says, but, "if you want to vaccinate about 12 million head of cattle and you're not going to do it once — you will vaccinate and then you need to boost and perhaps vaccinate two more times so that you are fully out of this as Argentina and the others have done before, then you need to have that supply in place.The problem then that Africa has is that we don't have the supply in place ... and then it has to be imported by the state. And in fact, that's what the regulations from the World Organization of Animal Health say. So when Minister Steenhuisen says it's only the government who will import, he's really following the rules.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I'm weighing in on John Steenhuisen's surprise decision to step down as DA leader and why his "moonshot" successor might be just what the party needs. Plus, we look at the latest Epstein file dump—and the prominent South African name that's cropped up in the pages.
In the latest edition of the Electoral Roadshow with Chris Steyn and analyst Wayne Sussman, he dissects last night's by-elections in which the Democratic Alliance (DA) won two seats off the African National Congress (ANC), one in the Cape Winelands and another in the West Coast. “…it's clear that the ANC are in big trouble in the Western Cape,” Sussman says. The ANC's reversal of fortune continued in Gauteng where voter support in one of its traditional strongholds fell from 73% to 57%. “This means that if the party had to continue with this trajectory or this trend line, they will no longer be the largest party in a key municipality like Mogale City after 2026. So across the board, the ANC having a difficult night.” Sussman also previews today's Press Conference by embattled DA leader John Steenhuisen. “I think today will be a press conference on John Steenhuisen's terms where he will get to put …his side of the story. And I'm sure it's going to be a very difficult day for him, but he'll want to pen his own obiutuary as the party leader.”

Democratic Alliance leader John Steenhuisen is expected to announce today that he will not seek re‑election at the party's federal congress In April. Steenhuisen, who has led the DA since 2019 and also serves as Agriculture Minister, has faced mounting criticism from groups such as AfriForum and Solidarity, as well as from some farmers. AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel described Steenhuisen's centralised, state‑heavy response to the foot‑and‑mouth disease outbreak as the "last straw," saying it reflected an ANC‑style reliance on a failing system and eroded support among core voters. Tensions have also risen over the DA's stance on the BELA Act and its stance on racial transformation policies. Elvis Presslin spoke to Afriforum CEO, Kallie Kriel

In this episode, we analyze the "uncomfortable questions" raised by a 145% two-year surge in gold and the "froth" appearing in silver markets. UBS strategist Bhanu Baweja discusses South Africa's economic pivot, noting that its move toward a primary budget surplus and high real yields stands in stark contrast to Japan's current struggles. Finally, Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen reveals a massive public-private partnership aimed at vaccinating 14 million cattle to break the "raging fire" of foot-and-mouth disease.
The Democratic Alliance is grappling with fighting between senior national leaders, months before its elective congress. This as former Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Dion George THIS WEEK resigned from the DA and Parliament, following a bitter public fallout with party leader John Steenhuisen. His resignation was preceded by his removal as minister in November at the DA's request and replaced by party spokesperson, Willie Aucamp. George claims he was removed due to his hardline stance against the wildlife-breeding and the hunting industry, while Steenhuisen maintains that George was removed for poor performance in his portfolio. Following this, George, who was also the DA's federal finance chair, publicly revealed Steenhuisen's money issues and also accused the party leader of being captured by the ANC and beholden to the GNU. The DA is not taking interviews about the spat but some analysts believe the saga has already damaged the party. For a look at the state of the DA and what this means, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor Ntsikelelo Breakfast, Director for the Centre for Security, Peace, and Conflict Resolution at Nelson Mandela University

Minister John Steenhuisen, further says several provinces have been affected, including Limpopo, the Eastern Cape, parts of KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. He says the department will roll out immediate mass vaccination in hotspot areas, with repeat campaigns within three months. Feedlots and dairy herds will be fully vaccinated. SteenHuisen explains
Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen says a foot and mouth vaccination programme has to go hand in hand with enhanced surveillance and movement control. Steenhuisen was briefing the media on the current status of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) in South Africa. He says government has vaccinated 2 million animals. He says early detection and reporting are essential to limit the spread of Foot-and-mouth disease in the country.

Die siekte kom tans in sewe provinsies voor, met die meeste gevalle in KwaZulu-Natal.

Steenhuisen het die kongres van die DA in die Noord-Kaap in Upington toegespreek. Hy sê in sommige dele van die land verduur gesinne eindelose wateronderbrekings, besoedelde voorrade, verstopte riool en gebreekte infrastruktuur wat nooit herstel word nie. Hy het bygevoeg die rioolkrisis is op die punt waar inwoners daagliks saamleef met dreigende omgewings- en gesondheidsrampe wat deur wanbestuur en verwaarlosing veroorsaak word:

Die buurland se landbouminister, John Steenhuisen, sê die huidige bek-en-klouseer uitbreking het 'n ernstige uitwerking op boere, veral in KwaZulu-Natal, waar die meeste onopgeloste uitbrekings voorkom. Ten spyte van uitgebreide inentingspogings, belemmer onbeheerde dierebewegings vordering. Die departement verskerp inperking, brei entstofvoorraad uit en werk saam met die bedryf en internasionale vennote. Beyers Smit van die DA sê Steenhuisen belowe voortgesette steun vir boere wat geraak word en versterkte nasionale biosekuriteitspogings:
Die G20-beraad wat in Johannesburg plaasgevind het, word as 'n sukses beskryf. 'n Twis tussen die DA-leier, John Steenhuisen, en voormalige minister Dion George, kan Steenhuisen se loopbaan kortknip. Geen plan teen fossielbrandstof word by die COP30-gesprekke in Brasilië aanvaar nie.
Landbouminister John Steenhuisen het die regering se verbintenis herbevestig tot die versterking van Suid-Afrika se byebedryf. Bestuiwing dra jaarliks meer as 10 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand tot die land se landbou by. Die land produseer jaarliks tot 2 500 ton heuning, maar verbruik byna dubbel soveel, en is sterk afhanklik van hoofsaaklik Chinese invoere. Steenhuisen sê byeboerdery is 'n belangrike bydraer tot die land se landbousektor as gevolg van sy bydrae tot voedselsekerheid, inkomsteskepping en ekonomiese ontwikkeling:
Die minister van Landbou, John Steenhuisen, het Suid-Afrika se graanprodusente gelukgewens met die lewering van 'n rekord oes tydens een van die uitdagendste ekonomiese tydperke die laaste paar jaar. Die land se algehele graan- en oliesaadproduksie was meer as 23-miljoen ton, wat 30-persent meer is as verlede jaar. Steenhuisen sê die mielie-oes van net meer as 16,3-miljoen ton is beduidend meer as die nasionale behoefte van 12-miljoen ton:
Die minister van Landbou, John Steenhuisen, verwelkom die Zimbabwiese owerhede se besluit om die verbod op die invoer van mielies en ander graansoorte op te hef. Die minister beskryf dit as 'n belangrike stap in die rigting van die versterking van streeksvoedselsekerheid en ekonomiese samewerking. Die departement se woordvoerder, Joylene van Wyk, sê die landbousektor floreer op voorspelbaarheid en doeltreffendheid, en beperkende handelsmaatreëls lei té dikwels tot skeefgetrekte markte wat die verbruiker benadeel:
Die DA-leier John Steenhuisen het die party se Federale Raadsvoorsitter, Helen Zille, as hul burgemeesterskandidaat vir Johannesburg in die 2026 Plaaslike Regeringsverkiesing aangekondig. Steenhuisen het in Soweto gesê Johannesburg is 'n stad van buitengewone mense wat deur swak politieke leierskap belemmer word. Steenhuisen het politici beskuldig dat hulle die stad se begroting wanbestuur en gesê die DA is die "muti" wat Johannesburg nodig het. Hy het kiesers aangespoor om nie hul stem te verdeel nie en gewaarsku dat dit die stad se agteruitgang sal verleng:

Die minister van landbou, John Steenhuisen, sê pogings om bek-en-klouseer te bekamp en te beveg word belemmer deur mense wat diere onwettig vervoer. Die minister het Donderdag Rysmierbult buite Ventersdorp in Noordwes besoek om toesig te hou oor ʼn bees-inentingsveldtog. Daar is sowat 274 uitbrekings van die siekte in vyf provinsies met KwaZulu-Natal wat die ergste getref is. Steenhuisen sê samewerking is nodig om die siekte te bestry:
Die minister van Landbou, John Steenhuisen, sê Suid-Afrika se uitvoermark bly klein weens sy bek-en-klouseer-status. Steenhuisen het bevestig dat groot voerkrale produksie gestaak het, wat die voorsiening aan supermarkte, restaurante en selfs die leersektor ontwrig het. Steenhuisen sê die onvermoë om te slag beïnvloed ook voedselsekerheid, veral vir armer verbruikers wat staatmaak op bekostigbare produkte soos koppe en ingewande. Hy het aan Newzroom Afrika bevestig dat bedryfsliggame die situasie monitor:
Landbouminister John Steenhuisen sê die regering gryp in om die verwoestende bek-en-klouseer-uitbreking te bekamp. Hy het 274 onopgeloste gevalle in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, die Vrystaat, Noordwes en Mpumalanga bevestig. Steenhuisen sê ook die oorblywende 400-duisend entstofdosisse uit Botswana is ontvang, met 50-duisend wat reeds versprei is. Hy sê die oorblywende dosisse is op uitbrekingsbrandpunte in die Vrystaat, Mpumalanga, Noordwes en Gauteng gemik:

Die DA-leier John Steenhuisen sê nou dat die begroting aanvaar is, moet die fokus verskuif na dienslewering en die vinnige instelling van noodsaaklike hervormings om ekonomiese groei te ontsluit en werk te skep. Die party het ten gunste van die Toedelingswetsontwerp gestem wat in die parlement bekragtig is. Steenhuisen sê die DA het ʼn belangrike rol gespeel om die begroting te vorm en sê hy het die ANC se voorgestelde BTW-verhoging van 2 persent gekeer:
Die minister van landbou, John Steenhuisen, sê sy departement en ander belanghebbendes sal Maandag en Dinsdag 'n hoëvlak-nasionale bek-en-klouseer-indaba in Roodeplaat, Pretoria, aanbied. Hy sê Suid-Afrika ervaar tans beduidende en voortdurende uitdagings met uitbrekings van bek-en-klouseer in verskeie provinsies. Dit het gelei tot beperkings op die beweging van vee en het die land se rooivleishandel op internasionale markte aansienlik beïnvloed. Steenhuisen sê Suid-Afrika kan nie bekostig om bek-en-klouseer soos gewoonlik te hanteer nie:
