The Gauteng Agriculture and Rural Development Department is today still waiting for the Health Department report, into the death of the 2-year-old girl who died in Soweto after being bitten by a dog.
The girl was believed to have died from getting the rabies.
Department spokesperson Makoko Lekola said “It will be shocking if the result comes positive.
We will be disturbed by that fact but we are calling on the community member to make sure that they vaccinate their pets because rabies is a killer disease”.
The Gauteng Agriculture and Rural Development Department launched a campaign this week to fight the disease.
The department offered free vaccinations for residents in Soweto and provide vaccines in pets in Zola and Emdeni.
