Not entirely sure if Sutherland is in the Northern Cape but this dam is located just outside the town on a very rough gravel or ground road. We discovered it by accident when we went for a road trip while having a holiday in Sutherland and star watching.
It's really dry over there and it might look hot but it gets cold there in fact Sutherland is one of the coldest places in South Africa in winter times.

This car was in the water that spilled over the road during the Cape Town storm

As they say after the storm. This was just after the Cape Town storm when the roads were still flooded. The skies just pulled open and gave this amazing view.
This is what the Cape Town storm did to the roads close to the Strand Pavilion. It ripped up the road and threw the tar pieces across the road and in the road.

You can see the car in this photo but if you look closely you can see the road if full of sand, that is how far the water went over the road a couple of days ago

It might look calm in this photograph but as you can see the clouds still hang low after the storm that was in Cape Town

This was taken about the same time as the great Cape Town storm that destroyed the walls and roads
