Looks like the normal Bluegum tree (Eucalyptus Globulus, imported from
Australia originally) which is the feedstock species for the pulp and
paper industry in South Africa. Has largely replaced the indigenous
forests & gobbles up the meagre water supply. Smaller trees or those
produced by coppicing of previously felled trees are used for termite
resistant poles.Those colours apppear on the thin outer layers of the bark.
