The temperate grasslands of south Africa are called as veld. They extend from the drakensberg mountain range in East to kala haricot desert in the west . Orange and limpopo are the major rivers that drain velds. velds have mild climate with short warm summer and long cold winters . Rainfall is limited from November month to February. As rainfall decreases from East to west grases also become shorter as we move from East to west .Drought may occur if rainfall is poor in winter months from June to August. velds have rich deposit of minerals.
