The MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Thulasizwe Buthelezi, has warned residents about the weather conditions, which could result in localised flooding of roads, walkways and low-lying bridges.
The weather conditions could also cause road closures due to snow, particularly in areas around the Drakensberg.
Buthelezi said disaster management teams have been assigned to monitor areas prone to weather-related incidents.
Residents who rely on generators and braziers are urged to use caution when using these methods to keep warm.
