Inclement Weather | Relief efforts for trapped motorists : Mlondi Radebe reports

The South African Weather Service issued a Level 8 warning for more disruptive weather conditions as snowfall blanketed the N3 highway, particularly between Warden and Tugela Plaza in KwaZulu-Natal, leaving motorists stranded for hours. The KwaZulu-Natal Disaster Management Centre convened a joint operations centre meeting on Saturday morning to discuss relief efforts for trapped motorists in soup kitchens, shelters and blankets. To find out the latest on what is happening in KZN we now cross live to our reporter Mlondi Radebe.

They were not trapped for hours, it was for 2 days and they have only one scraper.

Classic south Africa.. 1 scraper

[@ugochionuike1049]

It’s really strange, I lived in Durban for more than 30 years and never saw snow. I am also asking all motorists. Particularly those who are not used to this type of conditions to be very careful.

The dudes job is to communicate information. Possibly, get someone who is able to do that clearly.

[@FelicitousCitizenStruggler]

That accent is South African as biltong, and hijacked skyscrapers. Chill bro.

[@ChaosTheBattleLLamma]

@FelicitousCitizenStruggler it's not the accent, the sentences weren't coherent, it felt like asking a primary schooler what they did during the weekend and they just kept tossing out what came to mind, saying the same thing multiple times.

Where are the road scrapers they could have scrapped the snow away

[@LinKatHen]

The road scrapers are at work, but there are many roads snowed under, so they can't be everywhere.
