Government is feverishly looking at ways to curb the spread of swine flu.
A special task team is being set up.
Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform, and Rural Development Thoko Didiza is urging pig farmers to make sure infected animals are isolated.
Since April, there have been outbreaks in Mpumalanga, Gauteng, the Free State and the North West province.
This is the third time the disease has been found this year.
In April, Daveyton informal pig farmers reported the unusual deaths of pigs brought in from Mpumalanga.
More outbreaks were reported in May, in Vanderbijlpark.
The department is encouraging farmers to take precautionary measures.
This includes not feeding pigs leftover food and not buying pigs of unknown origin.
