Snowfall in the Western Cape


CAPE TOWN - Mountain tops across the Western Cape are dotted with snow.

Residents of Worcester, Sutherland and George have reported seeing slopes dusted in white.

Worcester resident, Helena Smith, said it is a beautiful sight.

“Mountains are covered by snow.”

Linda Vaal, who lives in George, said it was a welcome surprise.

“It was overcast this morning and raining. When we went outside later we saw that the mountain was covered by a white blanket of snow.”

Meanwhile, a warning for heavy rain and snow has been issued for Cape Town.

The city centre has seen heavy downpours and sleet with certain areas reporting snow.
