Unexpected snowfall in the KwaZulu-Natal region in South Africa has surprised many locals.

The worst affected areas are in the Midlands the Drakensburg and Kokstad-Matatiele areas.

Weather forecasters have warned that worse conditions could follow.

The bad weather conditions are causing misery to most motorists, but for others, not used to the wintry scenes it is a time to play.

Snowballer-thrower, Vicky Hillard said: "We thought that we would come up here and just have a look at it ourselves because we have never seen snow before."

The weather service also warned of possible heavy rainfall and snowfalls in southern, central and eastern KwaZulu-Natal later.
