The Cape Town in southern South Africa has been hit by massive storms that have forced at least 4,500 people to leave their homes.

Strong winds have torn off roofs, destroyed buildings and knocked down power poles.

Schools are closed in Cape Town and surrounding areas, and in the wine region of Stellenbosch, snow has lined the streets as a result of an extreme cold front from the Atlantic.

According to the news site News24, 44,600 meals have been distributed to those affected since the beginning of the week. Blankets, hats, and hygiene items have also been distributed.
