The latest rolling heat wave to scorch South Africa will persist until Friday over western parts of the maize belt, the South African Weather Service said on Wednesday.
“Over Gauteng, Limpopo, Northwest, western and northern Free State, the conditions will continue until Friday,” the Weather Service said in a statement. The Northwest and Free State provinces are key grain growing areas.
South Africa’s maize crop has been threatened by an intense drought, pushing domestic prices for the grain to record highs.
