Motorists will, therefore, need to adapt their driving to suit these different conditions.
Keep a longer following distance from the car ahead of you. Brake earlier, enter corners at slower speeds, have a firm grip on the steering wheel, switch on the headlights in poor visibility and always focus on the road ahead.
Residents across South Africa took to social media to share images and videos of snowfall or flakes making landfall in their communities.
