| dc.description.abstract | Sieg, as known by all his friends and colleagues, was born on 28 February 1950 in Lichtenburg. He obtained his BVSc at Onderstepoort in 1973 and also a BVSC (Hons) in Veterinary Public Health from UP in 1992. major achievement during his career was his intense involvement and eventual (almost solo attempt) to successfully negotiate in Parliament for the acceptance and final adoption of the Meat Safety Act – still successfully in operation today. He also played a major role in setting hygiene standards for culling and slaughtering of game for export to Europe which he successfully negotiated with the European Union. The SAVA also had the privilege to have Sieg Meyer on the Federal Council. He also served with distinction as chairman of the VPH group of the SAVA. | en_US |
