JOHANNESBURG - The cold weather is expected to continue across the country. Overnight lows dropped to around 3 degrees and highs of 11 degrees are expected for the rest of the day. Thousands of residents have been left in the dark with widespread power outages. City Power says it is struggling to cope as the adverse weather is delaying its response times. But there is some relief in sight, with conditions expected to improve towards the weekend, with Sunday weather reaching 20 degrees.
