24 July 2019 – “There have been confirmed snowfalls over Sutherland area and there is some snow on the top of the mountains of the Western Cape,” South African Weather Service (SAWS) forecaster Henning Grobler told News24.

The SAWS warned of “disruptive snowfalls” over the Namakwa southern high ground and western high ground of the Western Cape mainly on Wednesday morning.

Light snow is also expected along the Sneeuberg, Winterberg and southern Drakensberg mountain ranges of the Eastern Cape.

But most damaging may be the wind.
