I live in Witbank, South Africa. We have had some decent rain, but it is mostly sunny. Our geology teacher always said: "Sunny South Africa also means dry South Africa". Sadly, that is the truth, especially in the Cape provinces. The droughts are raging through the southernmost parts of South Africa. My sister, living in Cape Town, says that the drought is especially parching at the moment. They, a family of five, can only shower every third; they can only flush the toilet once a day. They wash dishes, etc. with "grey water". There is absolutely no chance for them to do any gardening whatsoever. Apparently gardens in those areas look like mini deserts.
Is it nature punishing us? Is it God punishing us? Or is it just natural global warming? Whatever it is, it is a painful situation.
Hello Minnaloushe,
Thank you so much for that update. Our thoughts are with you all in South Arica. Drought is a terrible thing. We must all plant more trees to catch the rain that does fall and care more for our environment. Please check out http://isha.sadhguru.org/rally-for-rivers/ to learn how lifesaving trees can be!
keep well - following you now also :D
I absolutely agree with you. Here is a photograph that I took very recently, where rain fell copiously in one of our very primitive rural areas. It was painful to see how the water just rolled away, where nothing could catch the water. Trees, trees, trees!

It is not a good photo, because I had to take it through the window glass (hijack hotspot), but I think you can see what I mean.
