Rescue teams in South Africa have recovered more victims of the heavy flooding in the Eastern Cape province – raising the death toll to at least 86. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the area on Friday. He described the situation as a ‘catastrophic disaster’ caused by climate change. The poverty-stricken region saw a deluge of rain earlier in the week, triggering flooding of up to four metres in some places that completely submerged many homes, roads, schools and health facilities.

Propoganda. Attach global warming to your narrative to downplay the destruction and negligence caused by the oligarch class to use our ant farm as their play and dumping grounds.
