JOHANNESBURG - The country is facing increased risks of natural disasters due to climate change.
And authorities need to collaborate to improve early warning systems.
Just last week, a storm ripped through Randfontein.
We are currently experiencing a heatwave, floods have washed away homes and destroyed businesses and we saw snow closing Van Reenen’s Pass just two months ago.
All of these extreme weather events have cost the country.
Mitigating these events was the topic of a recent roundtable discussion.
Puseletso Mofokeng, senior forecaster at the Weather Service, has more on this.
