Why are South African mountains short and flat?

I drove through South Africa from Cape Town to Mozambique and noticed that almost all heights and mountains were no higher than approx 200-400 meters and had a flat top, just like the iconic Table Mountain. Why is this the case?

Google just won't explain this phenomenon. Thanks.
