Most of us are not equipped to deal with something of this magnitude. WE FEEL HELPLESS. Most of you will know what I am talking about in light of the recent flooding experienced in KZN.

This begs the question… Could the outcome have been different if we reduced our footprint on nature? And how can we, as a society, and in our communities better prepare ourselves for an event like this?

Tea producers in and are already witnessing a change in climate. and high temperatures threaten tea yields, national economies and the livelihoods of small scale . They have typically not found generic climate projections useful because these projections focus on changes in average conditions, when tea crop production is at the greatest risk of temperature extremes. An initiative under the Future Climate for Africa programme has attempted to change this by generating tailored projections that suit the particular information needs of farmers.
