On September 25, 2023, @traveltosouthafrica captured a striking video in Cape Town, South Africa, showcasing the aftermath of a relentless storm that had left a tarmac road covered in mud. Located halfway up the iconic Chapman's Peak Drive, a renowned roadway known for its breathtaking views and hairpin turns, the video revealed the impact of a rare weather phenomenon known as the "Black South Easter." The storm brought non-stop torrential rain, a phenomenon not experienced in the Cape for quite some time. Chapman's Peak Drive is no stranger to environmental challenges, often facing the threat of rock falls, which explains the sturdy netting strategically placed along its 114 curved passes.
