Volunteers send water as S.African temperatures soar As South Africa experiences its second year of drought, volunteers are collecting tens of thousands of litres of water, dispatching it by truck to the country's driest towns. The current drought has been brought on by the El Nino weather phenomenon and exacerbated by climate change. This week, the Washington-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is expected to declare 2015 the hottest year on record worldwide. A natural sound version of an AFPTV report.
