SOUTH Africans are being urged to brace for a major cold snap as a powerful cold front makes landfall, bringing icy temperatures, heavy rain, and widespread weather disruptions across the country.
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has confirmed that a low-pressure system is moving through the nation, affecting every province except Limpopo.
The system, which began impacting the Western Cape on Saturday evening, is expected to intensify in the coming days.
According to SAWS, extreme weather conditions - including heavy rainfall, strong winds, and unseasonably low temperatures — will extend to the Eastern Cape, Free State, Northern Cape, and parts of Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. Temperatures in some areas are forecast to remain below 10°C even during the day.
