Namibia has not just suffered from the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, but also an outbreak of the African Migratory and Red Locusts that has been terrorizing communities in the country's north-eastern region bordering Zambia and Botswana. The locusts were first reported in February 2020 in small numbers, but there has since been a significant surge in swarms spotted in various parts of the region. Gail Morland Junior Lecturer in Agriculture and Natural Resources Sciences is in the studio with Dirk Kleinschmidt to discuss the locust plague in Namibia.
