A total of seven schools, 100 homesteads and a clinic have
been destroyed by heavy storms in Beitbridge since the start of the rainy
season as the effects of climate change take effect in Beitbridge.
The Herald understands that besides impacting on
infrastructure weather patterns have started changing and this is also
affecting the 2018/19 cropping season.
In some cases, crops have started wilting due to moisture
stress while others are failing to germinate.
Villagers in the most remote parts of the district have
also started raising the red flag over the depletion of the water table and
drying of boreholes and natural water points. Herald
