A veld fire has left a trail of destruction in the small town of Daniëlskuil in the Northern Cape, burning down homes and killing cattle on nearby farms.

Several houses have been burnt down, and farmers have lost cattle.A runaway veld fire that has been raging since Wednesday in and around the small town of Daniëlskuil in the Northern Cape has left a trail of destruction, gutting several houses and killing cattle on nearby farms.

A farmer in the area, Bontie Viljoen, said the fire has destroyed thousands of hectares, and people have been left homeless after flames engulfed their homes. "A well-known guesthouse lost some of its rooms in the fire, and another farmer lost his whole house. Things are looking really bad for them," she said.It makes me incredibly sad to see the town burning like this. Apart from the farms and cattle, I am thinking about all those animals in the veld. It's horrible that nature is burning right before our eyes.
