DURBAN – South Africa is waking up to wet weather on Tuesday morning, with flooding, damage to property and surprisingly, snow in the southern Drakensberg.
KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape are the most affected, as the weather service warns of more disruptions.
Elsewhere, a storm battered the Free State, with hail recorded in Virginia, Welkom and Odendaalsrus.
It’s the same for parts of Mpumalanga in Secunda and Middelburg.
And for a good part of the country, it’s heavy rains with the potential to cause damage.
The majority of provinces are experiencing persistent downpours.
