Letaba Airfield-Tzaneen

17/01/2026

A “tornado” (I think) hit the Tzaneen area over the Christmas period, ripping trees out of the ground, hanger doors out of their railings and some folks had more damage than the lucky few.
The airfield in Moketsi was also affected by this unusual weather phenomenon and we are currently experiencing very high levels of torrential rain, weather patterns can be scary
