WESTERN CAPE — Spring might officially be here, but winter isn’t ready to let go just yet. South Africans are caught between confusion and laughter as the weather continues to throw curveballs. Let's face it, this is not how spring is supposed to feel!
Although the country hasn’t seen the same level of snowfall as last week, the threat of more disruptive weather remains strong. And while the rest of the nation braces itself for scattered rains and light snow, the Western Cape is bracing for something worse. Meanwhile, KwaZulu-Natal is also on high alert for potential weather chaos.
Level 5 Weather Warning for Western Cape: What to Expect
The South African Weather Service has issued a Level 5 weather warning for certain areas of the Western Cape, with others receiving a Level 4 warning.

Meanwhile, the Cape Winelands, along with the Little and Central Karoo, are set to experience snowfall. Grab your jackets—it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

South Africans Keep Their Spirits High with Witty Jokes
When life gives you lemons—or in this case, snow—South Africans know how to make lemonade. Social media has been buzzing with creative reactions to the unpredictable weather. Some people are speculating that it’s the end of the world, while others are giving credit (or blame) to the GNU.
Willard Tonderai Nzwere summed up the apocalyptic vibes, saying:
“Very soon, it will be earthquakes and volcanoes. The weather is just the beginning.”
Rotondwa Nefale, on the other hand, embraced the GNU theory, adding:
“I actually like this GNU thing. Look at us—we’re experiencing snow more often now. Who would’ve thought?”
Tesh Blackbaas chimed in with a thought-provoking take:
“The GNU seems to be messing with our weather patterns. Some people want cold, others want warm. It’s like we’re living in a weather tug-of-war.”
Ororo White reminded everyone of the importance of reflection:
“This is our wake-up call. Anything can happen, and it’s time to change our ways.”
Ndumiso Ziggy offered a spiritual perspective:

“Jesus is giving us signs of His return. Let’s prepare ourselves for Him. Winter or not, He’s coming!”
Of course, there were plenty of lighthearted jokes too. Portia Porsche Lebea joked:
“Our government must’ve ordered this winter weather from Temu. They were trying to save money for the elections, so our winter wasn’t cold. Just like everything else from Temu, it arrived late. Please bear with them.”
BroMkhululi KaMazantsi had a laugh at summer’s expense:
“Apparently, summer didn’t pay its protection fee, so winter is stepping in. Wayawaya, I’m sorry for your summer body, but this is life now.”
Evans Monareng poked fun at Limpopo’s lack of snow:
“In Limpopo province, the minister ate the budget for snow. That’s why there’s none there. Budget cuts even hit the weather!”
Motshabane Wa Motshabane Mashala kept things simple:
“This is winter straight from Temu. Late but here!”
Immaculate Mnike took a political jab:
“GNU is clearly manipulating the weather. Punishing KZN for voting for Jacob Zuma. Politics everywhere, even in the skies!”
Having Fun Despite the Chill
Despite the gloomy skies and icy temperatures, South Africans found ways to enjoy the rare snowfall. The recent blanket of snow provided the perfect backdrop for some lighthearted fun. Briefly News highlighted the hilarious photos and videos shared on social media by residents making the most of the situation.

So, grab your gloves, sip your hot chocolate, and embrace whatever Mother Nature throws your way!
