Vehicles and driving in Northern Cape

The Northern Cape is South Africa's largest province and its most sparsely populated, so long empty stretches on the N7, N10, N12 and N14 make a breakdown far more serious than in the cities. Summer temperatures in the Kalahari and around Upington are among the highest in the country, which shortens battery life and pushes cooling systems hard. Iron ore and manganese mines near Kathu and Hotazel run large fleets, and Kimberley grew up around diamond mining. Grape farms along the Orange River, sheep farms in the Karoo, and Namaqualand flower-season tourists all depend on dependable bakkies, 4x4s and caravans.
