Carpobrotus deliciosus (sour fig, perdevy, ghaukum, ghounavy ) is a fairly well know sight in this area. They have purple, pink or white flowers, almost straight, green leaves and sweet fruits that make excellent sour fig preserve. They grows on sand dunes and in rocky grassland along the southern and eastern coast of South Africa from Riversdale in the Western Cape through the Eastern Cape to KwaZulu-Natal. This one was photographed in The Island Nature Reserve west of Port Elizabeth.
