Imango lingatshalwa ngezinhlobo zezulu ezahlukahlukene kusuka ezishisayo kuya ezomileyo. Ubuningi bezimango zaseNingizimu Afrika zivela endaweni yaseHoedspruit esifundazweni saseLimpopo. Yize imimango itshalwe lapha eNingizimu Afrika amakhulu eminyaka, ukutshala kwemango kuye kwasungulwa kuphela esiFundazweni saseWestern Cape phakathi nekhulu lama-21. Lokhu kusize ukwelula isikhathi semango kuze kube sekupheleni kukaMeyi njengoba iWestern Cape yaziwa ngezinkathi zayo zezithelo zakamuva uma iqhathaniswa nezinye izifundazwe ezikhiqiza izithelo ezinjengeNyakatho Kapa.
Imango liyatholakala ngesikhathi sasehlobo saseNingizimu Afrika, esiqala ngoNovemba futhi siba phezulu ngoJanuwari nangoFebhuwari. Isikhathi semango siqala ngohlobo lwama-Tommy Atkins onesikhumba esibomvu futhi siphela ngoKeitt onombala oluhlaza. Umbala wesikhumba awulona uphawu lokuvuthwa. Ukuhogela ukuphela kwesiqu semango kuzoba yinkomba engcono yokuthi sesivuthiwe. Imango elivuthiwe lizoba nephunga elizithelo.
Lesi sigaba esikhuluma ngemango sibheka ukukhiqizwa kwemango, izindlela zokulima, ukuphatha nokusebenzisa imango futhi sifisa ukugqugquzela ukusetshenziswa nokutshala kwalesi sithelo esinempilo futhi esiguquguqukayo.
