Karoo Drought at Crisis Point<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Known to be arid and unforgiving at the best of times, the worst of times has now beset the Central Karoo. The rains have come for most drought-stricken areas across the country, but in this crucial sheep-producing area, it\u2019s been six dry years and counting. 60 000 workers in the region have lost their jobs. Carte Blanche revisits the towns where the economy is collapsing under the weight of destitute workers and their families seeking refuge, the only meal many children get is provided by the schools\u2019 feeding scheme as farmers and the town businesses are forced to retrench workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Defence against Allergies?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

An asthma attack, the dreaded breakout of hives, and near death experiences \u2013 that\u2019s what many people suffering from food allergies risk every day with every meal. Research shows that high antibiotic exposure, environmental changes, genetics and fast food ingestion are just some of the factors which can cause allergies \u2013 but is there another way to prevent them early on in life? Now,results from a ground-breaking South African study focusing on the impact of exposure to a rural environment and farm animals, could hold the answers to reducing the prevalence of food allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One More Orbit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They stood at the precipice of history, a rare opportunity to pay tribute to one of the greatest historical events of our time \u2013 the moment the Apollo 11 lifted off from earth, destination, the moon. Now, exactly 50 years later, the One More Orbit international flight crew which included South African Jeremy Ascough took on the adventure of a lifetime, setting out to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest circumnavigation of the earth via the north and south poles. It was a feat attempted by others twice before, but this time, the team intended to finally obliterate the record. With a staggering 54 hours and 7 minutes to beat, could they do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
