Snow, thunderstorms... Mzansi's 'damaging' and 'disruptive' start to winter

Lester Kiewit speaks to Annette Botha, a meteorologist at Vox Weather.

South Africa is transitioning into winter. 

The South African Weather Service issued a level six warning for the Eastern Cape for 'damaging' weather while it issued a level two weather warning for Cape Town.

More snow and thunderstorms are expected. 

In areas like Tongaat in KwaZulu-Natal, tornados, flooding and mudslides have caused devastation and killed five people.

The low-pressure system will leave Cape Town today before heading to other parts of the country, bringing heavy rainfall, snow, and thunder.
