 Snoweto

It may not have been enough to build snowmen or block the road but it was definitely snow – areas to the south of the city got most of it.

At about 11am, Hassen Cassim Franchisee, of Mochachos in Mondeor, said excitedly: “It lasted about 30 minutes and it was actual snow. I posted a picture on Facebook.”

In Orlando East, Soweto, residents were confused about the weather and kept wondering if it was snow or ice, and whether or not to take an umbrella when they went out on the streets.
