Rocking the Daisies festival, known for its celebration of music and community, faced unprecedented challenges due to extreme weather conditions and flooding in the Western Cape. After careful consideration, the festival was postponed to November 2023, with a commitment to safety and support for affected communities. Despite setbacks, the festival’s lineup remains largely unchanged, and organizers are working diligently to minimize disruptions. The resilience and unity of the festival’s community, including title partner Johnnie Walker, have demonstrated the power of music and art in overcoming adversity.
The recent rescue of 14 hikers from the Tsitsikamma hiking trail in South Africa is a testament to the bravery, teamwork, and dedication of multiple rescue crews who faced treacherous weather conditions to save them. ## Stranded Between the RainSwollen Lottering and Elandsbos Rivers
