Disaster management teams in KwaZulu-Natal are on full alert for disruptive level 2 and 4 weather on Saturday, similar to a cut-off low system which caused widespread flooding, loss of life and damage to infrastructure in April 2022.
The KwaZulu-Natal co-operative governance and traditional affairs Cogta department issued a public advisory after the South African Weather Service SAWS issued severe weather warnings.
These warnings are in effect on Saturday through Monday as a cut-off low pressure system is expected to bring heavy rainfall, severe thunderstorms and strong winds across various parts of the province, the department said.
