    Just near the Verkeerde Vlei Toll Plaza in the Free State, a drone was launched to get an aerial view on the devastating effect the drought has had on South Africa.

    Although it’s not the most lush part of the country, the video clearly shows the derelict state in which the farmers are living due to the lack of rain as the fields are normally a light green at this time of the year and produce is growing in abundance. It is their rainfall season after all. This is what the filmmaker had to say:

    First part was 120 up on a flyover of the surrounding countryside and the second part was taken from 500m up in the sky showing how dry the Free State really is.

    There is no green in sight. On the road we saw 2 fields that were planted – one had small patches of very stunted Sunflowers and the other had beautiful green corn – The one with the corn was under irrigation, though. For the rest – the whole Free State was just dry red dirt.

    If you haven’t left the areas lucky enough to receive rainfall since the drought began, you may be acutely unaware of its significance. Hopefully this video provides you with a little more insight.
