On Thursday, 1 May the Augrabies waterfall in the Augrabies Falls National Park recorded a stunning 3740 cumec metre per second as water cascaded down the 56 metre high drop.
By contrast, the ‘normal flow’ at the falls is usually between 30 and 50 cubic metres per second.
The recent rains over the country has resulted in more water being released from the Vaal and Gariep Dams, which caused the increase of the Orange River water levels from normal flow to the most recent 3740 cumec metres per second.

South African National Parks (SANParks) recently posted videos on their Facebook page, showing the spectacular falls in action. Take a look:
