The Afrikaans agricultural magazine, Landbouweekblad, reports on a farmer who lost 65 cattle in a lightning strike.
Watch the cellphone footage, taken by farmer Victor Badenhorst near Lichtenburg, as he walks around surveying the damage to his herd. Landbouweekblad posted the footage on Youtube.com.
Following the tragedy, fellow farmers donated 42 animals to help him get by.
