The South African Weather Service has issued an orange level 5 warning affecting parts of the country.
This could result in disruptive rain leading to the flooding of roads and settlements, damage to property and infrastructure, danger to life, displacement of affected communities and major disruption of traffic flow due to major roads being flooded or being closed.
The warning has been issued for the extreme north-eastern parts of KwaZulu-Natal, escarpment and Lowveld of Mpumalanga and extreme southern Lowveld of Limpopo.
The weather service also issued a yellow level 2 warning for disruptive rain resulting in localised flooding of susceptible formal and informal settlements and roads as well as difficult driving conditions and closure of roads crossing low water bridges in the extreme eastern Highveld of Mpumalanga, southern Lowveld and escarpment of Limpopo and north-eastern interior of KwaZulu-Natal.
A yellow level 1 warning for damaging winds and waves resulting in small vessels taking on water and difficulty in navigation at sea is expected offshore between Algoa Bay and Port Edward.
