Residents of Gauteng and parts of Mpumalanga awoke to snowfall on Monday morning that had turned the landscape, including Johannesburg, into a winter wonderland.
From Dullstroom in Mpumalanga to Johanessburg and across Gauteng, everyone was fascinated by the snow, an extremely rare occurrence in these parts of the world.
This phenomenon has been attributed to a combination of events, with meteorologists theorising it was due to a convergence of cold air masses from the south and east with a low-pressure system moving into the region, IOL reports
The cold, combined with moist air, caused ice crystals to form, which led to snowflakes descending across parts of the country.
