It is the tradition in South Africa for any piece of " empty /unoccupied " land , to be burnt during winter/dry season

Several animals at the Tshwane Rietvlei Nature Reserve were electrocuted after an Eskom electricity pylon collapsed, Tshwane's mayoral committee member for environment and agriculture, Dana Wannenburg said on Saturday.
The animals are a female rhino, her calf and a zebra.
"Tshwane Nature Conservation officials discovered the carcasses early this morning during routine patrols," said Wannenburg.
He also revealed that Eskom technicians moved swiftly to repair the pylon and secure overhead cables at the reserve.
"The City's nature conservation officials will work closely with Eskom officials to establish the cause of the collapse, to check the soundness of all other structures along this overhead line, and to determine which measures could be implemented to safeguard the reserve’s wildlife from further harm," added Wannenburg.

This place has become a circus.
We went to Rietvlei today and saw people sitting in the open windows with most of their bodies outside of the cars. But that wasn’t all.
Then we saw people standing on the back of a bakkie without a canopy.
But then we saw the best..........
People sitting on the back of a bakkie on their camping chairs
There’s no officials driving around doing anything about this. Total lack of control and these clowns do whatever they want
