The weather office also issued an advisory for very cold conditions forecast over the provinces' south-western parts. 

 

"Disruptive snowfall is resulting in isolated loss of livestock and crops,  possible closure of some mountain passes for a short period, and difficulty in driving conditions due to slippery roads over the extreme south-western parts of KZN today," SAWS said in a statement.
