In Limpopo, areas such as Lephalale, Modimolle, Mookgophong, Marble Hall and Bela-Bela can expect to be affected.
The service previously warned that heavy downpours can cause formal and informal settlements or roads to flood. “Major roads may be affected but can still be used, however, with an increased travel time. The heavy downpours will cause difficult driving conditions on dirt roads and minor motor vehicle accidents due to slippery roads and reduced visibility,” they said.
Meanwhile, the weather service’s forecast indicates that Polokwane residents can expect clouds with scattered showers and thundershowers for today.
