Organizers please take care! Sunday, 10 March 2024 08:10 AM

The heat level is very high and relevant authorities are issuing warnings to the general public. But who is listening? You find matches, sports events, cycle races and public events being conducted with scant consideration for participants. Organizers please take care!

If there is money involved nothing else matters Sunday, 10 March 2024 09:12 PM

Most of these events have some money put into them to happen. That's what makes these things tick on and go on. Authorities put more faith in money than worry about anyone holding them accountable. for their negligence. That's part of the local culture.

True very true seems like no one want to listen not even government officials or public? If government warning is given why are they having big matches/ rugby matches

Situation is only going get worse if farmers continue their business Sunday, 10 March 2024 07:55 PM

Biggest cause of climate change is deforestation. Cutting down trees and shrubs. The traditional farmers are the biggest culprits. The agriculture sector must be stopped from causing the heat that is harming the whole nation.
