Heavy snow is expected over parts of Emalahleni, Sakhisizwe, Senqu, Elundini and Matatiele, with major traffic disruptions, temporary road closures and isolated communities possibly becoming inaccessible. Rainfall chances will be highest along the eastern parts of the country. Very cold conditions are forecast across Gauteng, Mpumalanga, the Free State, KwaZulu-Natal and much of the Eastern Cape, while strong winds are expected to worsen conditions. The weather service has advised motorists, farmers and residents in affected areas to take precautions as the combination of snow, rain, strong winds and freezing temperatures could lead to hazardous travel conditions, livestock losses and disruptions to essential services.
