A developing low-pressure system over southern Botswana together with a fairly intense high-pressure system off the east coast of South Africa will maintain unsettled weather across the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and parts of the Limpopo, North West and Free State provinces.

Tyres are also critical, should you need to stop or to manoeuvre then you will need your tyres, especially on slippery surfaces", said AA spokesperson Layton Beard.1. Keep a safe following distance4.
