Motorists are advised to avoid travelling in parts of South Africa as roads remain closed due to heavy snowfall and treacherous conditions.
Van Reenen’s Pass and various other routes and roads in KZN and the Free State remain closed, with many vehicles stuck and people stranded in their cars since before 21:00 last night.
“The situation is dire, with road users stranded and various crashes and other emergencies being reported.” Before the N3 was closed in both directions, the NT3C warned that road surfaces were slippery, causing trucks to lose traction, especially on uphill sections of Van Reenen’s Pass. Stay in your vehicle: If you are stranded, it is safer to stay inside your vehicle and wait for help. Do not leave the vehicle to search for assistance unless help is visible within 100m.
