Andre Britz was on holiday with his family in Umdloti, north of Durban, when he witnessed the event and captured it on video.
"I can't remember the exact time but it was sometime in the afternoon. I had never seen something like it before, I'd only ever witnessed such events on TV," he told TimesLIVE.
The most affected areas are those between Entresierras and Polope and the lower part of El Raso, where the harvests of other fruit trees, especially peaches, have also been lost.
Severe weather has affected the departments of Antioquia, Nariño, Cauca, Cundinamarca and Huila, leaving 10 people dead, 13 people injured, 1 person missing, 549 families affected, 20 houses destroyed and 384 houses damaged.

Brown snow coats white snow in southern Minnesota on Thursday, April 11, 2019.
Snow appeared to have a yellow, orange or brown tint to it in parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Minneapolis was one of the bigger cities that saw this unusual weather phenomenon.
Social media users commented that it looked like bits of frozen ice tea were mixed in with the snow. Some even said that it looked poopy brown.
The origins of these colors can be traced back hundreds of miles to Texas and New Mexico.
Sheep farmers were the hardest hit because of the unpredictable weather of 2017-2018
Extreme weather contributed to losses of up to £161m for Scotland's farmers during 2017 and 2018 amid fears such unpredictable weather will soon become the norm.
Last year's adverse weather had an impact on livestock and yields of key crops across Scotland according to a new report published this week.
Sheep farmers suffered the biggest losses of £45m as the Beast from the East hit during lambing season.
The largest impact on beef producers was the increased cost of feed, as cattle were kept inside for longer during the bad weather and grass growth was low during the dry summer. This cost farmers £28m.
Cereal crops were also significantly impacted, costing the sector £34m. Total production, area grown and yields were down in 2018 due to previous year due to the poor weather conditions at key points in the season.
At the UK level, wholesale prices of some staples like carrots, lettuce and onions rose by up to 80%.

Hawick councillor Davie Paterson confirmed the boy's condition 'could be a matter of life and death'.
He said: 'It's an absolute tragedy and it's going to hit the town hard. 'I don't know the full circumstances of what happened but from what I'm hearing the child could be scarred for life. 'I was told about it with the council yesterday and I was absolutely horrified.'
