Stellenbosch students go VIRAL after flooded street surf – WATCH
· The South African
Heavy rainfall across the Western Cape over the weekend led to widespread flooding, with parts of Cape Town and surrounding areas experiencing road disruptions and waterlogged streets.
In Stellenbosch, where downpours left several roads submerged, a viral video has captured a lighter moment amid the disruption – showing two students being pulled behind a bakkie while skimming across flooded road surfaces in a wakeboarding-style stunt.

The clip, captioned “Stellies students as soon as it starts raining,” quickly spread on social media, drawing a mix of amusement and disbelief as the pair maintained balance while gliding through pooled water.
Persistent rain
A second widely shared video from the area highlighted the scale of the flooding, with multiple streets partially submerged after hours of persistent rain as the region moves deeper into its seasonal winter rainfall period.

Online reactions ranged from humour to concern, with users joking about transport challenges, winter arriving early, and even suggesting boats as a more suitable mode of travel.
While the viral moment brought levity, authorities continue to caution residents about hazardous driving conditions, localised flooding, and the risks associated with moving through submerged roads during heavy rainfall events.
