A warning for disruptive rainfall has been issued for the entire province except the northeastern parts.

 

"Residents in these areas are urged to take necessary precautions, including delaying unnecessary trips, as the risk of entrapment due to icy roads is very high," says KZN Cogta spokesperson Senzo Mzila.
