CAPE TOWN - Snow has fallen in parts of the Western Cape this weekend.
The South African Weather Service has recorded snowfall in the high-lying areas, including Cederberg. Parts of the province have also received rainfall, while some residents have shared images of hailstones outside their homes.
Forecaster Kate Turner says the most rainfall hit Grabouw and Kirstenbosch.
“You’ll have gaps of sun and then passing showers. There’ll be gaps again and more showers.”
