Simply because the Sun is lower in the sky.
The sun is in the Southern Hemisphere in the winter and this lower sun makes longer shadows. This is similar to the longer shadows in the afternoon, when the lower sun makes longer shadows.

∙ 14y agoDue to the tilting of the earth as it goes around the sun. During winter the sun is at a lower angle resulting in longer shadows and winter itself, since the sunlight spreads across a larger surface area reducing its heating capacity making the earth cooler.

∙ 13y agoThe tilt of the Earth changes, during winter one part of the Earth is tilted away from the sun so therefore the angle of the light rays change creating a longer shadow.

What happens to shadows in the afternoon?
Shadows are long in the evening and morning. They are at their shortest during mid-day. Shadows are also much longer in the winter than they are in the summer, due to the low sun angle.
What time of year are shadows longest?
Summer would probably have the the shortest shadow because the sun is right over us and winter would have the longest because the sun isn't right over us. The length of the shadow really doesn't depend on the seasons. It is really about where the sun is in the sky. But in order for there to be an actual shadow, the sun must be visible. So in summer you would find the most shadows but not the longest. You can get a long shadow in any season as long as the sun shines.
Are shadows short or long in the morning?
Long, getting shorter towards noon.
when do shadows get smaller and bigger?
Shadows are longer when the Sun is low in the sky, and are longest at sunrise and sunset. The shortest shadows are seen at "Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun is high in the sky. Over the course of a year, noontime shadows are longest on the winter solstice and shortest on the summer solstice. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is on December 21; the summer solstice is on June 21. Switch these dates for the southern hemisphere, and these dates may vary a day either way depending on the cycle of leap years.
