Disaster teams on high alert as more snow expected in KZN

“These were as a result of a low pressure system that moved across the country. These systems are not uncommon at this time of the year. The only difference is the cold front was followed by far-reaching high temperatures,” he said.

At least two people died following heavy snowfall in KZN. Hundreds of motorists were also trapped along the busy N3 highway.

MEC for Transport and Human Settlements Siboniso Duma is expected to brief the media on his department’s state of readiness for the inclement weather expected next week.

“We have been in touch with the Saws in Pretoria following reports of a possible snow this weekend. As an authoritative voice on weather and climate forecasting, we appreciate their guidance and support as we sustain our efforts aimed at ensuring road safety,” Duma said.
