A cold front is expected to grip most parts of the country from Friday onwards. The South African Weather Services (SAWS) has confirmed that a high-pressure system will bring with it icy conditions and heavy rainfall.

KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape are likely to be worst affected by the drop in temperatures, but Mpumalanga and Limpopo could also feel the pinch.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that there could be snowfall over the Drakensberg region in the coming days.
