Gauteng was hit by a hectic thunderstorm on Monday afternoon, with hail pelting down, causing damage to several roofs and motor vehicles. But the aftermath was quite breathtaking to gaze upon – with the golf-ball sized hail blanketing the ground like snow, transforming Joburg into a white wonderland.

“It was quite a scene,” he told SAPeople, describing it as a “massive hailstorm”.

The damage at Delta Cafe in Craighall Park was rather severe… but owner Daniel showed how to make the most of a bad time!
Residents said it was one of the roughest storms in 45 years:
Ek plaas nie gereeld iets nie want daar is so baie mense in Johannesburg maar hierdie was rof! Ons woon al 50 jaar hier en ek het 45 jaar laas so iets beleef. Ons omgewing is erg beskadig. Bome is ontwortel, krag drade is af.📸Annelie Lemmer @peoples_weather @SAWeatherServic pic.twitter.com/FQVdm1Ezoc
