A very rare phenomenon for the Republic of South Africa happened in this country recently.
The country was covered by snowfall. In some regions, snowdrifts of about two meters were formed.
Snowfall has paralysed traffic on roads, and in KwaZulu-Natal province, the military has been called in to help deal with the aftermath of the storm.
This was reported by MIA "Russia Today" with reference to the SABC News TV channel.
Local weather forecasters, as noted by the TV channel, warned of destructive snowfall in the southwest of the named region.
According to road services, traffic in various parts of South Africa has been completely or partially paralyzed due to snowfall.
It is noted that specialists will begin multidisciplinary rescue operations only when they can be carried out safely.
According to the South African National Roads Agency, several humanitarian organisations are helping to provide emergency assistance to people stranded on the roads.
