Watch: Springbok in the snow Posted on 24 July 2019 Tags:snow Yesterday’s cold front brought snow to Sutherland in the Nothern Cape’s Karoo areas as well as some high-lying areas in the Western Cape. Rogge Cloof, a private estate in Sutherland, posted some photos of the snow that blanketed the ground, as well as a video herd of eland and a springbok standing in the snow – quite a stark contrast to typical videos and photos of eland and springbok on the desert sands of the Kalahari. Heavy snowfall at Rogge Cloof Guest Farm close to Sutherland.

The Swartberg Pass in the Little Karoo also received a fair amount of snow.
