Rains destroy crops, farmers helpless

The country heeded the President’s call for prayers, which were held in churches, Kgotlas and even in private.

Now it is raining cats and dogs. The whole of northern Botswana is so rain-soaked it will perhaps take another divine intervention to stop it. If it does not rain heavily it drizzles the whole day, disturbing normal life as people have resorted to barricading themselves inside their homes.  The rains are destroying crops, which around this time of the year are being readied for harvest.
