Perhaps in Bontebok NP? I've also seen them at Cape Point.

They were released on top of one or two mountains near Berg&Dal via helicopter, Khandizwe I think. a bit hare-brained, methinks?
Just going a bit off topic but...
SANP comes in for a lot of critism recently, but they came up with some gems in those days too.

I seem to recall Oribi were introduced too.
But they are also high altitude grassland antelope.

It was a mess, in the end Dzombs! But maybe worth a try? Before global warming and what not, and going on local lore and even cave paintings...but they were really on a roll! :-0

Oribi, suni, red duiker, Liechtenstein's, rhebuck, dassies to Maquili, cheetah from Namibia, roan from Malawi, Samango monkeys...
