WARDEN: Unusually heavy snowfall caused major disruption on South Africa's roads on Saturday with people still stranded at midday after spending the night stuck in their vehicles.
The key N3 highway linking Johannesburg and the east coast city of Durban was one of the worst affected and several portions were closed, with even detours impassible, officials said.
Emergency services were working to reach people in their vehicles but it was still not clear how many were affected and in what condition they were, N3 Toll Concession operations manager Thania Dhoogra said. Blankets and meals had been delivered to some stranded motorists. — AFP
