Government urges public to stay vigilant amid expected cold weather With a cold front expected to bring very cold, wet and windy conditions to parts of the country from Sunday, government is urging the public to remain vigilant and take the necessary precautions. The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has advised that a cold front is expected to make landfall over the Western and Northern Cape, bringing cold to very cold, wet and windy conditions, rough seas and snowfall over mountainous areas. The system is expected to move eastwards, with these conditions spreading to the Eastern Cape and further inland.

Farmers are urged to take appropriate measures to protect livestock from the cold, including ensuring that animals have access to safe, sheltered and adequately protected areas. “Government, through t
