AUTUMN IN SOUTH AFRICA

Autumn is the most enjoyable season in the country. Autumn in South Africa manifests in the light showers that are in most cases accompanied by heavy clouds. During this season, the country experiences warm shine during the day and moderate rainfalls. The nights during autumn are usually cold. In April, some places experience foggy days since the temperatures drop gradually from the onset of autumn. Another statement characteristic of autumn is the yellow color on branches of trees. The weather during this period is convenient enough for harvesting sugarcane, cotton, and corn. During this season, the highest that the temperatures in Cape Town can reach is 19 degrees Celsius.

MCHA would like to thank those residents that sent in their proxies and attended the SGM held on the 26th of March 2024.

Option One was described as modern and striking, while option two was presented as more timeless and robust design.
