Limpopo

Limpopo is a province located in northern South Africa. Recent torrential rains and widespread flooding have made it newsworthy. These floods, part of a larger weather event affecting southern Africa, have caused significant disruption and damage. Kruger National Park, a famed safari park located in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, has been forced to suspend visits and evacuate staff and guests. The flooding in Limpopo, along with other provinces, has contributed to a rising death toll in South Africa, with at least 19 fatalities attributed to the extreme weather. The events highlight the vulnerability of the region to extreme weather events and the challenges of managing their impact on infrastructure, tourism, and human lives.
