Heaven on Earth


Heaven on Earth

It is that time of the year again…temperature is rising and with it comes the rain, which will, in a couple weeks, transform a harsh, dry landscape into a canvas of colours!

A few days ago, we had the first and the most amazing thunderstorm.  
 For 3 hours, the heavens were alight with beams of lightning clawing the earth followed by the deafening roar of thunder, so loud and intense it felt like standing amidst a thousand Zulus at their War Dance.
 
Everyone at Amakhosi was silent and in awe by this beautiful display of the majestic power of nature.


Today, after a mere 17 mm of rain, new life is bursting from the soil and slowly but surely our beautiful Zulu-land will be once again ‘heaven on earth’…
