SA Drought Crisis – Watch This To Get An Idea Of What Is Going On [Video]
11 Nov 2015 by Sloane Hunter in Disaster, Environment, Food, Global Warming, Natural Disasters, South Africa, Video
The price of bread, potatoes and onions – staples in most people’s diet – could be pushed up because of the effects of the drought that arrived on SA shores this year. Slated as the worst drought in South Africa’s modern-day history, the effects will not only be felt by the farmers themselves, but by temporary labourers and, of course, consumers. Although Cape Town is still receiving rain, the El Nino has had hazardous effects on the rest of the country.
Crying for help from the government, EWN takes a look at wheat farmers across the Swartland who, even though are struggling, see it as a challenge that they will grit their teeth through until things turn for the better.
