Responding to the regulations published on Friday, Cull told MyBroadband that, unfortunately, it was expected they would be poor.
“Regulations can only be as good as the legislation they are based on,” Cull said.
“Unfortunately, the Amendment Act is the worst-drafted legislation since we eradicated rinderpest.”
According to an article on the Department of Agriculture’s website, South Africa had effectively eliminated rinderpest from the country by around 1903.
