SA climate experts are urging the government and the agriculture sector to prepare for the potential effects of the looming El Niño weather pattern, which may pack an extra punch in 2023 due to global warming. The world is shifting from the cooler La Niña to the warmer El Niño, which is associated with a greater likelihood of drought in summer rainfall areas in Southern Africa. El Niño and La Niña form an oscillating weather pattern across the Pacific Ocean, cycling back and forth between warm and cool phases every few years. It is the most powerful fluctuation in the earth’s climate system, with a profound influence on ocean and atmospheric conditions.
Daar is waarskynlik min twyfel dat die Afrika-leiers se besoek aan Kyiv en St. Petersburg nie volgens enige redelike maatstaf ’n sukses was nie. Maar dit beteken nie dat hulle openbare uitsprake sinneloos en waardeloos was nie – alles behalwe. Suid-Afrika se sogenaamde onverbonde of neutrale beleidsposisie is duidelik ondergeskik gestel aan dié van Afrika of dan minstens van die Afrika-leiers wat teenwoordig was. Ramaphosa moes teen wil en dank werklikhede in die teenwoordigheid van Putin uitstippel waarvoor nóg hy, nóg sy minister van buitelandse sake, Naledi Pandor, tot op hede die ruggraat gehad het. As Vladimir Putin ja-broers verwag het toe sewe Afrika-leiers hulle saak oor die oorlog in Oekraïne aan hom en Volodymyr Zelensky gaan stel het, het hy die pot lelik mis gesit. Pres. Cyril Ramaphosa en kie was veral onversetlik oor die oorlogsmisdaad wat met die ontvoering van Oekraïniese kinders gepleeg is.

Die meeste botterbulle met hulle kort kakie broekies en hemde verander weens hulle liefde vir braaivleis, bier en brannas in botterballies soos die jare aanstap. Dis opmerklik hoe meeste van die manne net jag, brannas en braai gesels. Dit lyk of die meisies deesdae die jagters is- die botterbulle se testosterone is dalk op iets anders ingestel. En dit lyk of die ouer dames wat iewers iets gemis het, dalk hulle oog op die botterbulle het. ’n Foto wat by die Nampo-park geneem is, waar ’n spannetjie botterbulle op ’n ysige Vrystaatse oggend in ’n ry by die braaivleisvuur staan in dikke kamoefleerjagbaadjies, maar met rypkoue, bloedrooi beentjies wat onder hulle kort kortbroekies uitsteek.
