The South African Weather Service has warned of cold and wet conditions across the country in the next few days, meaning travel plans may be affected.
Apart from heavy rain, snowfall is also expected across the country.
Light dustings have already reportedly appeared on the highest peaks around Ceres and the Cederberg in the Western Cape.
Widespread snow is expected over most of the high-lying areas of the south western Cape and into the southern parts of the Northern Cape by tomorrow morning.
By Friday afternoon, the southern Free State, eastern parts of the Eastern Cape, the KZN midlands and Lesotho should also have received snowfall. Table Mountain may also see some snowfall.
Mountain passes in these areas may be affected and travellers are advised to keep a close eye out for possible road closures and have alternative routes planned out.
Anyone at the coast this weekend should exercise caution as six-metre waves are expected.
In the Western Cape, members of the public have been urged to stay away from areas like the Atlantic Seaboard, False Bay coastline and Strand/Gordon’s Bay beachfront during this period.
