Happening Across South Africa Today | 20 June 2026 — Yesteryear Highlights (20 June 2024)

Shot on: 20 June 2025 Uploaded: 20 June 2026 — Part of our “This Day Last Year” yesteryear highlight series. 🇿🇦 Posted a year ago today — highway delays and airport scenes to Kruger coffee stops, wildlife sightings, coastal walks, mountain hikes, and West Coast sunsets. Below is the full episode summary plus practical information on how to register to vote with the IEC in South Africa today, along with more scenes from around South Africa. We open with a truck blocking the N4 near Klerksdorp due to an abnormal load, causing traffic delays. From there we pass the OR Tambo statue and Gauteng station at OR Tambo International Airport, stop for coffee at Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp in Kruger National Park, and spot blue wildebeest at a watering hole. Urban and coastal highlights include a walk around the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, a hike to a waterfall deep in the Fern Forest (Northern Drakensberg), stays at Bass Lake Lodge and Sandy Point Beach Estate, attendance at the Discovery Parkrun at St George’s Park, Port Elizabeth, and a short drive at Jacobs Bay. Bonus clips include Catalina Lookout sunset at Isimangaliso St Lucia, a stop at Kleinmond, an aardvark sighting in Baviaans Conservancy, and flight FA278 from OR Tambo to King Shaka. Highlights N4 Klerksdorp truck blocking the road. OR Tambo statue and Gauteng station drive‑by. Crocodile Bridge coffee stop and blue wildebeest sighting. V&A Waterfront, Fern Forest waterfall hike, and West Coast sunset.
