Whither Weather :: Mmegi Online

The weather forms a huge part of our lives. On BTV when they forecast the weather you can see the grace of God just filtering through because the weather report is the only part of the news where they never get the captions wrong. Captions like ‘David Norris: BPC assistant referee’ and you see a little girl from D’Kar flashing across the screen do not happen when it is the weather report.

These captions that leave you more confused than first-time voters when asked whether Mokoko is a political party or not never happen when the weatherman is on. Have you noticed that ever since our favorite weatherman Radithupa Radithupa and the guys that used to adorn those strange jackets left the weather is becoming more difficult to predict.

Remember how our fashion-clued viewers would go on a darting exercise when the weather report came on. The subject would always be about the ill-fitting jackets of weathermen and how uncoordinated the whole look was. This became the topic whenever the weather report came on and most missed the weather forecast completely.
