KZN government calls for motorists to exercise caution on the roads KwaZulu–Natal MEC for Transport and Human Settlements Siboniso Duma has called on motorists to exercise extra caution as roads are wet and slippery, with snowfall in some parts of the province. According to the South African Weather Service (SAWS), the province is experiencing cloudy and cold to very cold conditions, with scattered showers and rain, and snow over the western high ground. The wind along the coast will be moderate to fresh southerly to south-easterly but strong in the north. “Our energetic teams from the Road Traffic Inspectorate and operators of Graders are already monitoring major routes and areas likely to experience another snowfall,” the MEC said in a statement on Tuesday morning.
