Localised flooding and road closures greeted the Western Cape on Friday morning as the first of several cold fronts expected over the weekend rolled in.

"Rosmead down in Wynberg is flooded, as are many of the roads leading off it," said traffic spokesperson Richard Coleman."A truck jack-knifed [on the] N1 outbound before Sable Road. Three centre lanes obstructed. Motorists should please be cautious in this weather," he said.

This is one of several traffic incidents that took place on Friday morning, with Chapman's Peak drive closed to traffic, and Table Mountain suspending the service of the cable car as"gale force winds" prevail. While the Cape battles the cold, The SA Weather Service has warned that a heatwave is expected to hit Gauteng this weekend.

Media release: Typical winter days for the south-western parts, but persistent heat wave conditions over north-eastern South Africa.
