Here are two clips:
Cronje's surrender at Paardeberg archive.org/details/silent-cronjes-surrender-to-lord-roberts
Entry of the Scots' Guard into Bloemfontein archive.org/details/silent-entry-of-the-...ard-into-bloemfontei

Here is a film showing Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener arrival in Capetown.

When I first found this I realised that it was back to front, so I'm glad to see that the IWM listened and corrected it.

The soldiers forming the guard and lining the streets were Wiltshire's and Royal Irish before they went on to Port Elizabeth.

Here's another,

The description reads:
This film by WKL Dickson shows the guns (likely of HMS Terrible) being moved over rocky ground. A quick head-count suggests that it took roughly fifty men to pull each 4.7 inch gun. Dickson and his assistants faced a similar logistical challenge with his camera, its batteries, tripod, and additional lenses and modifications (including a little-used telephoto lens and a pump powered by a bicycle wheel, designed to keep the film tight against the shutter).

This is a partner to the Boer War film Naval Guns Firing at Colenso.

This film, like the one in my previous post has the obligatory stray dog.

This propaganda film 'A Sneaky Boer' has an amusing melodrama to it, when seen these days:
