CAPE POINT_ in 3D. [01:56]
Cape Point is a promontory at the southeast corner of the Cape Peninsula, which is a mountainous and scenic landform that runs north-south for about thirty kilometres at the extreme southwestern tip of the African continent in the Republic of South Africa. Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town are close to the northern extremity of the same peninsula.It's a little north of the Cape of Good Hope on the southwest corner Although these two rocky and beautiful capes are very well known, neither cape is actually the southernmost point in Africa; that is Cape Agulhas, approximately 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the east-southeast. The peak above Cape Point is higher than that above the Cape of Good Hope. The rugged sandstone (Table Mountain sandstone) ridge that rises from Cape Point at sea level develops into two peaks. There is a major peak that dominates the skyline locally but there is also a smaller peak about 100 m further south. The higher peak has the old lighthouse on the top. The Flying Dutchman Funicular runs from a car park to the north up to slightly below the level of the old lighthouse and a short flight of steps leads to a viewing platform at the base of the lighthouse. From the end of the railway a second path leads to the lower peak.

Black Rhino - Kwandwe Private Game Reserve - South Africa [00:21]
We got charged by this black rhino as we were on a game drive at Kwandwe. He came from behind some trees and I think we were as surprised by him as he was...After he charged towards us he ran off. Our ranger then stopped, turned the car off and let the rhino walk back up to us. We didn't capture the charge but this is when he walked back up to us.

APARTHEID South Africa. Racial segregation signboard. [00:43]
This type of reversible signboard began to vanish circa 1980. It was placed outside and above train windows, slotted into a track which displayed the sign tilted slightly off the vertical (top side out). White train passengers were obliged by South African Railways & Harbours (SARH) and South African Apartheid Law, at the time, to travel 1st class and pay a 1st class fare. So called "Non-Whites", likewise, were obliged by law to travel either 2nd or 3rd class and pay the corresponding fare. A 3rd class ticket for the same journey cost about 10% of a 1st class ticket, however the carriages had hard fibreglass seats along the length of the carriages and were invariably congested. Interestingly the same carriage cars were used for 1st and 2nd class passengers and they had forward/backward facing padded seats covered in dark blue vinyl. During Apartheid, as a rule, Whites went 1st class, Coloureds 2nd class and Blacks 3rd class. Coloureds included everyone neither white nor black, ie all shades of brown. This Apartheid Signboard was found on 16 January 2012 in an Antiques & Collectables Shop on Long Street, Cape Town, South Africa. It is for sale at ZAR 3500 = $ 436 = € 342 = £ 284. I think it should go to a museum as it is a significant piece of history.
