An unexpected winter wonderland

You can tell she's loving every second, just letting go like a small child seeing snow for the first time. Her laughter as she moves towards her co-workers is infectious and heartwarming.

Bad weather affecting parts of SA

Reports from the South African Weather Service published by the SABC predict persistent cold in the Eastern Cape, with an Orange Level 6 warning for disruptive snow in Joe Gqabi, Molteno, and Matatiele, and disruptive rain warning for other districts. Cold weather is expected to last until Wednesday, though snow and rain should stop by Tuesday.

Meanwhile, KwaZulu-Natal disaster teams are on high alert for snow, especially in the Midlands and Drakensberg-surrounding areas like uThukela, Harry Gwala, and Ugu districts. Road closures, including parts of the R617 and N2 near Kokstad, have already occurred due to heavy snow. Motorists are advised to delay trips to Kokstad due to congestion from stuck trucks.
