Meanwhile, the Meteorological Services Department (MSD) has predicted that the current dry spell will persist until the 10th of January when moderate precipitation is expected. This comes at a time when a weather forecast issued by the SADC Climate Services Centre (CSC) indicates that from January 1-6, the greater part of the region will receive heavy rainfall. *More: Sunday News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
