KZN MEC for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Rev Thulasizwe Buthelezi has urged residents to take necessary precautions, including delaying unnecessary trips, as the risk of entrapment due to icy roads is high.

“Plans are also in place to clear roads in collaboration with local municipalities and the Department of Transport.

“This co-ordinated effort aims to ensure major routes are accessible and that any disruptions are promptly addressed,” said Rev Buthelezi.
