The South African Republic is faced with a rare phenomenon — snowfall, which hit the country for the first time since the summer of 2023. Lions and giraffes walk through the snowdrifts, which attracts the attention of residents and tourists, but at the same time creates difficult conditions for wildlife. Infrastructure in several regions of the country is completely paralyzed, roads are covered with snow, which has led to multiple traffic jams. One of the tragedies was the hypothermia of a local resident stuck in a 30-kilometer traffic jam. The authorities urge the population to be careful and avoid long trips in bad weather conditions.
