Hmmm..... I cannot understand what all the fuss is about
Southern Africa is currently undergoing a rather dry cycle , with various parts of the country not receiving what is considered as being " normal " .
Drought in the Eastern Cape , drought in parts of the FreeState , drought in Limpopo Province and dry conditions over Botswana and Kgalagadi.
Yes , it does rain somewhat , somewhere , but not in really fantastic quantities . And we see some effects of some rainfall in Kruger now and then - this dam looks OK , but the Sabie river is rather dryish , etc .
And , specifically , the place is not so green and lush with grass and undergrowth such as expected at this time of the year
It appears that an El Nino system has been developing in Pacific ocean , which affects climatic conditions in Southern Africa .
And scientists have now for the first time started to find some real evidence of what they consider as being signs of climate change --- One sign being the dying off of old Baobab trees .
Something we will have to learn to accept .
Certainly , as per Leachy's signature : the future is not what it used to be
