The South African Weather Service warned of thunderstorms in many parts of the country from Saturday.
A police officer has been caught drinking and driving two days in a row by the Road Traffic Management Corporation as holidaymakers approach the tail end of the festive season.
He said the arrest came as a clamp down on roads was implemented with families making their way back home after the Christmas holidays. He added: “Motorists are again warned to refrain from driving under the influence of alcohol and adhere to the speed limits.”“Many crashes experienced during this period have involved single motor vehicles overturning resulting in injuries to thousands of people. Motorists are reminded that they have a responsibility to reduce the high number of crashes and fatalities in the country.
