SA reacts to Cape Town’s stormy weather
Cape Town has faced an abrasive winter before, but this one is for the books. Schools were closed as though there had been a violent taxi strike. Roads and infrastructure were damaged, and many were stuck at home as though the country was still on lockdown, all because of intrusive floods.
A video on TikTok had been making its rounds when the rest of Mzansi realised that Cape Town had been facing torturous weather since the brink of the winter season. The clip shows motorists clinging to their vehicles as they operate on the road during the stormy weather.
A lady named Thabsie shared the clip on her TikTok with the caption:
“Cape Town weather.”

@Ray Sunshine shared what she would do in the middle of a storm:
"I would be in the middle of the street singing What about us by Micheal Jackson 'Illlllllll....OOOHOooooo'."
@sibonisoncube341sly thought of the less privileged:
"Very bad for people who are in informal settlements."
@Mickey Malan 🇳🇦 would never step out during a storm:
"Haibo! How come people don't stay indoors? You will never catch me going to work in this kinda weather."
SA floored by Cape Town student studying fire during a storm
Briefly News also reported that the Cape Town weather is known for its indecisiveness, but this year, it has stayed committed to freezing its citizens. A university student, Aluthandile Mapupa, busted a mate in class studying fire, hoping to keep himself warm during the stormy weather.
Social media users were floored by the student's way of tricking his mind into believing that he was sitting in front of a fireplace.
