Russel Meiring from ER24 has issued this statement earlier this afternoon:
“Please take note that ER24 did not issue any WhatsApp Voice note regarding a storm warning.
“The voice note was not issued by an official channel through ER24. We are in the process of determining the employment of the person that distributed the message.
“Please note that official weather warnings will only be issued by the South African Weather Services. Please do not redistribute the voice message.”
