Suddenly, out of an ominously black sky, hail began to pound the dry streets of Aberdeen on Friday 28th November. The incredible noise of the hail crashing down on the corrugated tin roofs of the Karoo houses was deafening. As suddenly as the hail started, it ceased. Then the first rains began to fall on a parched Karoo town. Rain water tanks filled, and the ‘constant gardeners’ of Aberdeen breathed a sigh of relief. Hopefully, this is the beginning of the rain for which all the farmers have been praying.
