The cold front has brought with it bouts of snow in various parts of South Africa and residents have been sharing their impressive pics of the snow fall.
Winter has hit hard as bitterly cold temperatures are being felt across the country. Large parts of South Africa can expect the mercury to plummet over the next few days, according to the South African Weather Service.
In the Eastern Cape snowfall was expected near Barkley East and Rhodes and across most of the Drakensberg‚ extending into KwaZulu-Natal‚ according to Weather SA forecaster Wayne Venter.
There was also light snowfall in the southern Free State and on the mountain peaks of the Western Cape.
The South African Weather Service sent out warnings for “disruptive snow fall” and localised flooding was also expected along the Wild Coast and along the KwaZulu-Natal coastline.
And South Africans have been sharing all their awesome winter wonderland pics on social media.
