Residents of South Africa's biggest city Johannesburg were stunned by the first snowfall in over a decade on Monday, with some children seeing snow for the first time.
While parts of South Africa regularly receive snowfall over the southern hemisphere winter months around June to August, Johannesburg last saw snow in August 2012.
But for others, like delivery driver Chenjerai Murape whose motorbike would not start, the snow made life difficult. The South African Weather Service has issued warnings because of the cold front that has struck Gauteng province, which contains Johannesburg and the capital Pretoria.
