EXCEPTIONAL RAINFALL IN BOTSWANA - Worst in 30 YearsSelebi Phikwe Round Table 52 provides Flood Relief |
On the 10 & 11 February 2000, tablers from Selebi Phikwe Round Table visited flood stricken areas around Selebi Phikwe (Kagiso, Botshabelo & Mmadinare); distributing food to assist those badly affected by the recent floods. Here are some images of the project. |
Some of the 'relief packages' being moved from the Tony Hopkins Landy Coupe because it "Looked like it might rain again" - it did !(Craig Britz, Jeremy Witley, Tony Hopkins) |
This grateful man in Mmadinare appeared to be his own - until the rations were delivered. (Old man Craig Britz, Jeremy Witley) |
Steve Kenworthy loved his rainsiut and posed time and again. He has just has an idea on how to rebuild this house. Steves son Jack looks on. |
Someone used to live in that. |
Food supplies were gratefully accepted from RT 52 Chairman Craig Britz. Steve admires the reflection of his rainsuit in a puddle. |
Batswana never miss an excuse to be happy. Thanks to Round Table! |
It was getting late so we intercepted a donkey cart en-route to a cattle post and loaded them up. This is a small portion of the kids on board. |
A happy crowd downstream of the now overflowing Letsibogo Dam. Vice-Africa Regional Chairman (VASC) - Wayne English fills the frame. We left hereafter to view the overflowing spillway. |
Craig Britz negotiates us a gate pass to the dam wall. Stocked up on refreshments before climbing the damn wall. |
The Stupendous Six who delivered the goods - only half the table but the fist to see the Letsibogo Dam overflow for the inaugural time! (L to R, Erik Bartsch, Tony Hopkins, Jeremy Witley, Craig Britz, , Steve Kenworthy, Wayne English) |
One of the largest dams in Botswana fills for the first time. From 20 % to over 100% in weeks! |
