Heavy snowfall in parts of the Eastern Cape has resulted in the closure of at least two mountain passes as extremely low temperatures hit the province.
The N6 road at the Penhoek Pass between Queenstown and Jamestown and the Nico Malan Pass between Seymour and Whittlesea have been closed.
Snow also resulted in slippery conditions on the R56 between Mount Fletcher and Matatiele in the north of the province.
Several accidents have been reported due to snow fall on the R61 between Queenstown and Cofimvaba. Cathcart and Dordrecht residents also reported heavy snowfalls since Sunday night.
