  • Motorists are currently stranded due to a severe blizzard that has led to the closure of Van Reenen's Pass on the N3 in KwaZulu-Natal. Lungani Mhlongo, a news editor at Kasie FM, who is among those stuck, reports that some individuals have finished their food, and others are in need of restroom facilities.

    As much as the warning was issued, no one would have expected this. This is not normal in South Africa

    Anyone stuck in the snow be careful about using car heater. Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if exhaust pipe is blocked with snow

    People have been stuck by Estcourt for 15 hours. My family stuck there didn't try their luck... They got the weather warnings too late while they were already on the road.

    My family were also stuck in Estcourt last night. They were already on the road. They eventually got to Pietermaritzberg and reached their destination at 4am.

    So our emergency services have not yet attended to the situation in over 12 hours? Are they incompetent or unprepared for such conditions or waiting for an appointment of a tender?

      The anc ate all the emergency funds. They thought we wouldn't have disasters in mzansi. Relying on gift of the givers. Not a single politician will come to their rescue. They are on holiday with their families. Not a word from any of them. Shame 💔💔💔😈😈😈
