Has anyone seen how travel around Sani Pass and the affected border facilities is being handled with the heavier snowfall warning?

Are you asking about current road access, or whether travellers should expect possible disruptions around the pass?

The images of roads and trees covered in snow are striking, but the forecast of more heavy snowfall makes the situation feel less like a novelty.

Johannesburg possibly getting flurries is interesting, but the bigger concern seems to be the areas already dealing with snow on roads and at border points.

People travelling through the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, or near Sani Pass should watch official weather updates and allow extra time before setting out.
