This is a small tributary of the Tina river in the Ntlangano area of the Eastern Cape. (See previous entry for more details.) We had earlier driven through this river en route to the Tina Falls, but were cut-off for a few hours on our return after a severe thunderstorm. The river had swollen massively for a short while, but by the time these kids had entered, it was already receding. Out of sight (in front) was a minor waterfall, and at the time of the picture above the current was still far too strong to venture close to it.
By the time this picture was taken, the kid in the foreground was risking the current just above the little waterfall. Notice his intense concentration in the next picture.
Its a while later, and activity is generally far more relaxed. In the final picture kids have ventured onto the minor waterfall. Beyond was a far more serious waterfall that would still have swept away all-and-sundry.
