Snow covers the Matroosberg area of the Western Cape.

Capetonians love snow, perhaps because we don’t get any in the city. So, in what appears to be an annual tradition, on Sunday hundreds of vehicles visited the Matroosberg area to see the snow. People living in northern countries must think we’re mad.
