A giant ice cube or a gift from God?

Weather experts cannot explain what caused a microwave oven-sized block of ice to fall from the sky and shatter on the pavement outside an upmarket Douglasdale complex at 9.58am on FridayBut the security guards who witnessed the icy object plummet to its pulpy end believe that it might have been a blessing from above."It came from God... because the (security guard) strike is over," one of the men told the Saturday Star. One of his colleagues, 26-year-old Soweto resident Sizwe Sofika, vehemently rejected suggestions that the ice block could have been frozen human waste ejected from a passing aircraft. "There is no poo here," Sofika said. "There is no smell." Sofika said he and fellow Special Armed Services guard, S'Wester Moya, were sitting in a security booth outside the Fontana de la Vita complex when they saw a white object fall from the sky and hit the pavement with a resounding crash.
"We thought it was something like plastic. When it hit the pavement it cracked into pieces and it made a noise like a collision," Sofika said. Although he had seen snow in Newcastle, KwaZulu Natal, when he was an eight-year-old boy, Sofika said he had never seen anything like the large ice ball before.
