Johannesburg - It snowed in Gauteng on Wednesday for the first time in at least eight years, said Weather SA.

He said the snow had been reported about 09:00 on Wednesday.
"The very extreme southern parts of Gauteng could have some light snow during this morning."
He said the rest of Gauteng could expect showers.
The Gauteng interior south of Pretoria was expected to be "bitterly cold" on Wednesday with a maximum of 12°C or lower.
"Snow over Gauteng seems to occur once every eight to 10 years," said Rae.
