The uMngeni Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal has set up a disaster centre at the Howick Sport Club on Market Street in Howick to help motorists who have been trapped in the snow , while Saws issued a Level 8 warning for further disruptive snow.
The motorists have been trapped in the freezing weather since Friday.
On Saturday, uMngeni Mayor, Chris Pappas said the centre will be serving hot meals and hot drinks as well as provide temporary shelter and blankets.
Any person stuck in the Midlands area who can get to the centre will be assisted. Teams will also start brining relief to those who cannot get out of their vehicles on the N3, said Pappas.
The snowfall has led to a closure of several roads along the N3 Toll Route from Estcourt in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands to Harrismith in the Free State.
