Today’s posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger:
Being from the Eastern Cape we all know that there are areas where you have to be very careful driving at night. Unlike our friends in the Big Smoke it’s not robbers and highjackers we have to be careful of, but rather Kudus. These big antelope jump fences up to 2 meters tall and come and browse on the side of the road after dark, often jumping into the road and colliding with cars when they get startled by the bright lights. Because of this Kudu warning road signs is a regular sight on the roads of the Karoo Heartland.
But lately, a new sign has stuck its head out. A Warthog warning sign. Now warthogs don’t jump fences, for that their legs are way too short. But they do burrow underneath and they can often be seen on the side of the R75 road towards Graaff-Reinet from Port Elizabeth. Hence, Beware of Warthog signs.
For some reason, I just want to sing, “Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase. Hakuna Matata! Ain’t no passing craze…” when I drive past them. Go figure…
