Livestock freeze to death as cold front grips

The cold front which has beset Namibia has seen livestock freeze to death over night.

NBC Digital News is reporting that, “Cold weather conditions in the ||Kharas Region have hit small-livestock farmers resulting in the death of animals. A farmer in the Aroab district lost about 30 goats that were killed by a cold snap. Keetmanshoop Rural Constituency Councillor Gertjie Witbooi confirmed the death of the animals.”

“The farmer was recently evicted and had been farming in the corridors along the communal farming areas in the region,” the outlet further added.

Temperatures across the southern part of Sadc have been particularly biting this winter.

Parts of Namibia have even seen snow.
