September 18 - The South African government has passed a moratorium limiting the number of dogs allowed to pass through South Africa's borders.

A police task team has been set up to stop dogs being smuggled out of
South Africa.

Authorities estimate that 120,000 dogs are smuggled out of the country into parts of the continent each year.

Last month the SAPS rescued 30 dogs en route to Angola, after receiving a tip-off. Police in Namibia, South Africa and Angola have made nine arrests in connection with dog smuggling so far.
