Capetonians celebrate rain

Showers of blessings fell in Cape Town on Friday afternoon, not enough to make a difference to the severe drought the City faces, but enough to put some cheer into Capetonians. Some took a bath in the downpour, others just enjoyed the feeling of raindrops on their skin.

Beautiful pictures and videos were shared on social media.
