Over the weekend, road users were trapped in heavy snow along the N3 Toll Route, but authorities have assisted everyone. However, operations to clear abandoned vehicles are still ongoing as of Sunday afternoon. Ports of entry have resumed operations except Sani Pass due to melting snow and slippery conditions.
Travellers seeking to enter Lesotho are advised to use alternative ports of entry. The N3 Toll Route remains closed to incoming traffic, except for a section between Van Reenen and Swinburne for rescue operations. Various routes in the Eastern Cape are open but caution is advised due to hazardous driving conditions.
Emergency teams are working tirelessly to clear the snow and restore accessibility. Cooperation and patience from the public are crucial for a successful operation. The N3 Toll Concession urges road users to avoid traveling on closed routes until they are declared safe for use.
Stay informed through local radio stations and government social media channels for the latest updates on road closures and relief efforts in the affected provinces.
