WANDILE SIHLOBO: Driving across SA shows the drought is far from over

December is always a great month for me to get insight into SA’s agricultural conditions in a much more relaxing way when compared to my typical farm visits.

Each year I drive from Gauteng to the Eastern Cape, making frequent stops along the way to observe farming land and activities in various fields. This year I undertook a similar exercise, but the drive was not as enjoyable as it had been in the years before 2015. Back then, frequent droughts were not the norm in SA, and a December drive across the country this time of the year would be an opportunity to gaze through lush maize and soybeans fields, and also livestock and grazing veld.
