Dassenberg dam wall breaks in Cape Town, flooding Riverlands / Chatsworth.
#Flood #SouthAfrica #Today
This morning I've received news that a dam wall broke and the water rushed straight through a little town about 45km from where I live.
This is what I saw when I arrived.
According to the rescue services, they were still looking for bodies that might have been taken away with the flood. A whole community is rocked by this. We are thinking about everyone during these difficult times.

Dude puts his women in the shower on video. Man. Too much.

Beautiful man can you send/give the camp location please
Thank you and sure! The owner of the Tankwa Padstal also owns the campsite. It is called Camp 360. As in 360 degrees view.
❌ V12 ✅ Made You Look Like why you add a music over a V12 Merc 😭
These V12's are super quiet, you just hear tyres 🤷😂 But after the exhaust upgrade, there won't be music over it.
Good afternoon Would you be able to show what you to the caravan to lift it?
Hey hey! Yes sure, I've already started filming and editing that video. Many people have asked me until now. It won't be the next released video, but one of the next ones will be more details on the caravan modifications 😁
@ChristoffSmit thank you. sorry for the bad English only saw now what I sent. But none the less great, can't for the next video.
Comment from a Cruiser owner - Typical Toyota fanboy stupidity in the dunes......... This is the very reason beachdriving was banned many years ago in SA. Wife on roofrack whilst traversing flooded gravel road, unable to determine road surface conditions, let alone sliding off - insane!
So much hate and negativity though. Surely something in the video was positive as well? After all, we're not harming anyone and we're enjoying our time on this little ball of oxygen we call earth. Also, beach driving was banned for many reasons, but your version is untrue. The internet is full of people claiming their own versions, but the report from M van Schalkwyk is the correct and government issued one. ANY driving on a beach, damages the invertebrates. The dunes are a different story though.
Ek wil saam julle nog ry
Dit is verseker baie fun 😁
I find this video to be verging on CHILDISH & IMMATURE! Possibly a little reckless. I AM ABSOLUTELY INSULTED ! …..that I wasn’t invited. 😂✌🏻✌🏻
Love it 😂😂🤘
Great trippie.
great video net jammer van die onnodige wheelspinning wat die grond pad verder op donner en die gerevvery soos dronk motorfiets ryers. Maar andersins het dit n toer gogga los gelaat
Dronk motorfiets ryers 😂 Ons was al baie dinge genoem, maar dis n eerste. Ons is maar nog jonk en so effe teveel "petrolheads".
🤣Toemaar chom ek geniet julle trips vreeslik baie. Julle speelplek is baie mooi.
Nice one bro ❤
Thank you man 💪🏽
Now is the time to build the dam in Greton Overberg..to put our communities and residential areas out off harms way. For over 20 years they plan to build a dam in Greyton..time to build that dam in Overberg and also a lot off water get wasted back into the ocean. BUILT THE DAM IN GREYTON. Theewaterskloof
Ref hom pappie!!
Totaal onverantwoordlik. Ry op plekke waar daar duidelik nie 'n roete was nie. Voorbeel was om julle voertuie se suspension flex te toets. In los sand langs die pad te "spin. Drink Tequila shooters en bestuur daarna. Overland/4x4 en drank meng nie. As mens sosiale media goed maak behoort julle voorbeeld te stel vir mense.
Dankie vir die boodskap, enige iemand se opinie is welkom hier 😁 Net om ons kant te staaf. Die area waar ons die "flex" gedoen het, is n gereelde plek wat mens sien mense stop met voertuie. Dit word selfs as n "wild camp" gesien deur die overlanding community. Die los sand langs die pad het ons geen plant lewe seer gemaak nie en daar het wel heelwat spore gele. Agter die heuwel was daar motorfietse ook in die sand. Na ons die enkele shooter gedrink het (tradisie by Tankwa padstal), het ons op die privaat grond van die padstal gebly. Ons was nie op publieke paaie nie en dis slegs 3km van daar na die kamp plek waar ons gebly het. Ek verstaan wel steeds die punt van alkohol en Overland/4x4 gaan nie saam nie. Die idee was nie om mense sleg te beiinvloed nie.
Why did you sell your old hilux as it was a v6 ?
I wanted to get a SUV for the overlanding trips, just easier to pack and a much more comfortable drive as well. I didn't want to have anything else than the V6 though.
Let's pray for Riverlands❤❤
That pub used to me local...😂.
The railway line: is it the line to CT or north to Moorreesburg and Bitterfontein?
According to my knowledge, it is part of the line to Cape Town.
@@ChristoffSmit It looks like the section from Kalbaskraal to Saldanha. Given that the main line is cut at Worcester, CT is nearly cut off from the interior by rail.
@phillipcollins9290 the railway line is to Saldanha...serve Saldanha Steel shelters with coal..at Kalbaskraal on the east southeast of the N7 and Dieprivier...Kalbaskraal is the junction for Saldanha and Malmesbury to Bitterfontein north..
Dassenberg dam burst and flooded Riverlands..Dassenberg is the name of the farm which was leased by the Andrag family ...beautiful aerial view😊
Very interesting. Did not know it was/is the Andrag family.
Sorry, I took that info from a Cape Town website who reported on the issue. I will fix the title now quickly. Thank you for the info 😁
Good day as a resident of chatsworth the dams were not maintained. Vandalism has been a big problem in the area and pumps have been vandalised. The dam has never been cleared of debris. And ofcourse now with all that water a disaster waiting to happen. Man made problems made worse by climate crisis.
Climate crisis? Repeating crap from globalist does not help
Very curious to hear more about the vandalism part please?
Climate crisis?
SA must prepare better for floods. But you you can never predict where and when things will go wrong. Just stay alert when it rains a lot as the last few years after the droughts. Best of luck to all
This is true, but we are going backwards when it comes to being prepared and maintenance. The funds are being used for other "things".
My heart goes out to all the Riverlands residents.
If the 3rd dam wall bursts Chatsworth,riverlands are done for
I wasn't aware that there's a 3rd dam... I'll go have a look on Google Earth.
@@ChristoffSmityes there is a bigger one which is right in the back of riverlands and Chatsworth on a farm basically all three of them are located on the same farm
I've had a look on Google Earth. Hopefully that dam is safe, they can't have another flood like this one.
My personal opinion is that it was negligence somwhere ... the dam level should have been seriously managed to have prevented such a tragedy. COMRADE-BEE appointments ???
Ja nee jy praat die waarheid van hierdie BEE gemors.
Brilliant footage! 👌 Prayer goes out to all those affected!🙏💛
It is very sad to see everyone walking around and all their belongings are everywhere. In the bushes, under the bridges. There was a couch on the railway that also washed away. Lots of clothes from little kids. Can't imagine being asleep and then all of a sudden this happens.
@@ChristoffSmitThe people upstream who built houses inside the dried up river must of gotten hit very hard.
Without a doubt. It was difficult to film though, as the rain started coming down quite hard and the drone won't like that.
@tylerdurden3722 the animals and livestock was without shelter...thanks for SPCA and Hawk for their help
A challenging weekend lying ahead with the predicted rainfall that will have a further negative impact..
Exactly. Hopefully everyone has some family or friends where they can go for a bit.
Excellent videos, very enjoyable...
Thank you 😁 Glad you've enjoyed it.
Lekker man! Some decent camerawork and editing also.
Thank you. Appreciate it! The editing takes longer than the trip 😂
@@ChristoffSmit yip. I know what you mean. Many hours of work that very few people understand. 🤣
That's probably why most people hire editors first once they start making some money, to take that load off 😂
Dis soos die Toyota weergawe van ‘n Golden Retriever met zoomies.
Beste comment nog 😂
Hoe lank gaan daardie arme karavaan hou op sulke paaie? 😆
Hy hou al net oor 1 jaar 6 maande, maar hy gaan beslis nie nog 10 jaar hou nie. Dis verseker 😂
@@ChristoffSmit Goeie advertensie vir Jurgens 😂
Dis verseker! Dalk moet ek dit vir hulle aanstuur 😂
This is amazing! You guys had lots of fun
Thank you 😁 We sure did. You only live once they say.
Duine ry? wats nou lekker daaraan, jul jongmanne darem, ek dink dis meer voertuie op fff... 🤣
Each to his own I guess 🤷😂 Ons werk beslis nie so hard soos ons doen om elke naweek in die huis te sit met n klein karretjie in die driveway nie. Hierdie is ons speelgoed vir van die pad af, so hulle vat beslis punch, maar ons het hulle gekoop daarvoor. Na die trip, staan en rus hulle weer tot die volgende een 😁
Heeltyd speeltyd, lekker man. Nice videos, dalk net microphones gebruik ook
Baie dankie, bly jy geniet die videos. Microphones is verseker een van die volgende upgrades. My klank is maar moeilik om reg te kry huidiglik.
Lekker man lekker!!🎉🎉
Thoroughly enjoying your videos!
That's awesome 😁 Glad you're enjoying them
That strap you guys used is honestly legendary😂 So is that Prado, regte yster😂💪
That is a very decent strap indeed 😂 And thank you, the Prado makes these kind of things easier 👀💪🏽
A great episode 🙌🙌
Thank you very much 😁 Part 2 is so close to ready!
@@ChristoffSmit awesome… looking forward to it 🙌
Ug Lekker!!
Lekker Christoff video is tops ons moet weer trip reel ....
Dankie man, bly jy het dit geniet! Ons moet ja, die koue en reen moet net eers effe rustig begin raak 😂
Great video thanks for sharing.
Glad you've enjoyed and thank you for watching 😁
You guys are brave taking those vans through those conditions. Especially the old 80s van. You need to add some 35" on the caravan 😂 .
We haven't found anyone yet that said they'll do it, so I do think this might have been a first yes. And I've already done the measurements for 35's on the van. However I think I will lose a lot of indoor space then 😂
Great first night camp spot. Donkey is so small. I hope you all had hot showers. Your dog is very active, but if you don't mind the question, what is the skin problem or is it just the fur colour?
It was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. The donkey had to be done before each ones shower though, was a little small yes 😂 but on the positive side, 8min and it's fully heated. She just turned 1 year old, so still very active yes, but loving the outdoors. That is the fur color, so she is a Dachshund, but her coat color is dapple/tri merle.
That's it we moving to the Cape, dammit dit is mooi 😎🥰
Can't go wrong! Do it! 😂
Love it!! Your & your friend caravans are really awesome!! I want one!! When is part 2 coming
Thank you 😁 Really glad you've enjoyed it and like them. His is actually custom, he did everything himself, from the ground up. Very impressive. Part 2 will be releasing soon, just a few final touches to the editing 😉
@@ChristoffSmit can't wait for it!!!
Caravans are so 80's.
We're both from 1987, so very 80's 😂 (my caravan and I)
