Answer 1

South Africa was closer to the poles and has drifted to its current location.

Explanation:

• According to the evidence provided by the theory of the continental drift that explains the movement of the plate tectonics on earth.

• As the landmass of the African continent was combined or clustered with the other landmasses that formed the Pangea, the southern end of Africa was near to the south pole.

• Hence due to the landmass getting drifted away later on the glaciers receded and remained confined to the southern part of Africa while most parts of Africa were devoid of such glaciers since the beginning.
