Snow has been predicted a year after a woman died of hypothermia after being stranded in a taxi.
A year almost to the day after a snowstorm on the N3 killed one person and left hundreds stranded, snow has been predicted for the region this week.
The possibility of snow around Van Reenen’s Pass, where the tragedy happened in 2024, has also increased in the last 24 hours.
The high ground between Afriski and the Sani Pass toward the south-west is the focal point of the snow prediction.
“Snow outside of Lesotho is much less likely and really depends on how the freezing and moisture levels change,” Snow Report says.
