The Department of Cooperative Governance in KZN's Nonala Ndlovu urged residents to take caution when travelling.
"Avoid crossing low bridges and rivers as this may be flooded. Delay travelling where possible as roads may become hazardous.
"People living along river banks must remain alert and evacuate to higher grounds as soon as water levels rise to higher-than-normal. Disaster management teams have activated all contingency plans."
