Sea foam drenches cars in Cape Town

Two cars parked next to the shoreline in Cape Town were left covered in sea foam on Wednesday, June 7th, as a storm hit the country's southern tip.

Journalist Mohammed Jameel Abdulla, working for national news outlet The Daily Vox, captured video and photographs of the vehicles coated in frothy foam.

Eight people were killed and thousands forced from their homes as the city and its surrounding areas were hit by the worst winter storm in 30 years, officials said on Wednesday.

Local media reported that strong winds also fanned fires in the countryside east of Cape Town, forcing evacuations including in the popular resort town of Knysna, renowned for its oysters and rugged coastal scenery.
