Happening Across South Africa Today | 14 October 2026 — Yesteryear Highlights (14 October 2025)

Originally posted on 14 October 2025 from South Africa, this episode opens with an accident involving a car on its side in Berea Ridge, Durban, followed by heavy traffic toward Port Shepstone, a flight departure from Upington International Airport, and visits to Silver Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate in Pretoria and the Redstone solar power plant outside Postmasburg. The crew sampled cheese at Fairview Cheese in Paarl, rode a wild stallion at Augrabies, and filmed a very misty morning along Langeni Pass (R412) through Lanheni Forest between Ugie and Mthatha. The day also includes shopping and seasonal displays at East Rand Mall in Boksburg, a walk around OR Tambo International Airport, and a stop for food at Muizenberg Station Restaurant. The video closes with coastal and Karoo highlights that mirror the channel’s archive from the previous year, including Blue Lagoon Durban and Chokka boats at Blue Horizon Bay. It also shows a drive through the Prince Albert Valley and a few more places across South Africa. Key scenes and locations covered in the video Berea Ridge Durban — car on its side after an accident.
