He has urged people to be cautious.

 

"We are appealing to peddlers, sailors and boaters to be cautious. Wear your life jacket but preferably don't launch to go to sea unless it is absolutely necessary. We are also appealing to shoreline anglers, bathers and hikers hiking along of the coastline to be cautious."

 

The South African Weather Services says there's another warning for the province.

 

"Extremely high fire danger conditions are expected over western KZN today [Friday], which may result in reduced visibility, damage to property, damage to vegetation, air and water pollution, and loss of human and/or animal life."
