Cape Town, Ramadan 12, 1438, June 07, 2017, SPA -- At least five people have been killed during a heavy winter storm in the South African city of Cape Town, local broadcaster eNCA reported on Wednesday. According to dpa, it was the worst storm to hit the Western Cape province in 30 years, according to the provincial disaster management unit. A family of four, including 4-year-old twins, died in the suburb of Kraaifontein after lightning set their house on fire. A 60-year-old man died when his self-built shack collapsed due to strong winds. Waves on the Atlantic Ocean swelled up to 13 metres high, inundating coastal streets and washing over cars, a disaster management spokesman said. --SPA 18:21 LOCAL TIME 15:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w423368
