(Bloomberg) — Angela Dike was showing clients how to make duck red curry and chocolate spring rolls in her Thai cooking class when hail stones as big as golf balls started slamming into the 18 cars parked outside.

Windscreens and headlights were smashed and cars’ body work were dented across South Africa’s Gauteng, the province that includes Johannesburg and the capital, Pretoria, in the late afternoon of November 28. Dike, 37, said the hail stones were so big no one dared to run out to move the cars.
