The cover of Issue 192 of The Continent (1 March 2025) is an illustration by Wynona Mutisi. It shows Botswana's Three Dikgosi monument from the viewer's point of view. The monument is under water and showing the three chiefs from the knees up in dirty rain water. In the foreground are the words written in white: "Botswana prepared for drought. Then it flooded". #ClimateChange #Africa #Botswana #CycloneDikeledi #SouthernAfrica #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #TheContinent #AfricanJournalism
