This is said to be the results of the rainy season as the effects of climate change take effect in Beitbridge.
According to The Herald besides impacting on infrastructure, weather patterns have started changing and this is also affecting the 2018/19 cropping season.
In some cases, crops have started wilting due to moisture stress while others are failing to germinate.
Villagers in the most remote parts of the district have also started raising the red flag over the depletion of the water table and drying of boreholes and natural water points.
