Mabaso also says where there is heavy rain falling, people are being advised to delay travel on the roads until conditions are safe.
"We're saying minimise your movement, stay indoors and stay at home. You may think you are going for an exciting occasion and find yourself trapped somewhere in the snow. You're risking your life and that of your family," he said.
