The South Africa Weather Service (SAWS) issued an orange level 6 warning for possible disruptive snow in several parts of the country until Wednesday.
“Snow started to fall this morning (Saturday) over the high-lying areas of the Western and Northern Cape and is expected to spread to the high-lying areas of the Eastern Cape later today, where it could become disruptive in places.
“Furthermore, snow will spread to the southern Drakensberg tomorrow (Sunday) with light snowfall possible along the eastern Highveld and escarpment of Mpumalanga on Monday.”
SAWS
It further advised that the combination of the very cold temperatures with possible snowfall poses a real risk for small stock farmers as well as any outdoor activities.
Here are all the warnings issued:
Strong winds are expected over the western and central interior of the country today, with damaging waves along the west, south and southeast coasts. Windy conditions are also expected over the eastern interior of the country on Sunday and Monday.
Meanwhile, more snow, cold weather, and rain are expected from Sunday until Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the South African Weather Service (SAWS) previously advised the public and small stock farmers that loss of vulnerable livestock and crops can be expected in these cold weather conditions.
“The weak and frail may also be vulnerable since their bodies won’t be able to retain their heat as easily.”
“Small stock farmers should provide shelter for their vulnerable livestock and cover sensitive crops. Shelter, soup and blankets should be provided to the weak and frail where possible.”
