Severe thunderstorms over KZN with reports of hail
It's pouring in parts of KwaZulu-Natal, with some residents also reporting hail in their areas.
The South African Weather Service earlier on Friday issued a warning of severe thunderstorms and downpours with possible flooding in the Midlands, northern and western parts of the province.
It says residents can expect a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms going into the evening.
Weather Forecaster Wisani Maluleke says the rain is set to continue throughout the province on Saturday.
