Residents in the Western Cape are urged to suit up as cold and icy conditions hit the province

Residents in the Western Cape are urged to suit up as cold and icy conditions hit the province. The South African Weather Service has issued a weather advisory. “The public and small stock farmers should be advised that loss of vulnerable livestock and crops can be expected due to the combination of very cold, windy and wet conditions. The weak and frail may also be vulnerable, since their bodies won’t be able to retain heat so easily,” it said.
