Hunger stalks South East district

According to the report, the ploughing/planting season normally starts in October. However, ploughing/planting operations were delayed this season due to the late rains, which only came in the first week of December. During the 2014/2015 cropping season, ploughing/planting activities started in the first week of November.

This comes hardly after government dispatched its team to assess the drought around the country. President Ian Khama last year declared a general countrywide drought, the first since the 80s.
