| dc.description | Between 2015 and 2016 South Africa faced some of the worst droughts to have hit the country in decades These droughts were induced by El Niño, a climate pattern that results in the warming of surface waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, in turn causing a decrease in water availability in the form of rain and discharge into rivers An estimated 6 291 900 people across South Africa are estimated to have been affected by this drought More specifically, smallholder farmers, who are dependent upon agriculture for their livelihoods, and individuals with lower socio economic status were most vulnerable to the adverse effects of the droughts Furthermore, the production of maize and livestock was significantly impacted, with the decrease in production resulting in rising food costs. | |
