Drought Season

 The year 2023 started off well, with massive rainfalls and thunderstorms. This made tremendous excitement among majority of the northern farmers and they cultivated large portions of land.

Later early February the rain stopped suddenly whereby plants started wilting and some farmers could not sow anymore after cultivating due to lack of rain after all. The whole of February, there was mere drops or either none at some places in the northern part of Namibia. According to some elders in Onanghulo village, they have expressed their concerns that a situation like this happened again the early 1950s and a lot of animals and some human kind suffered starvation. Therefore, it might be a history repeating itself, says Mr Kombaye Johannes.
