Flood warning in parts of SA
The South African Weather Service has issued a warning of localised flooding in the Western Bushveld area of Limpopo as well as parts of the North West.
This comes after a week of heavy rain across South Africa.
Weather forecaster, Madimete Themo says isolated to scattered showers and thundershowers can be expected over the northern parts of the country.
"The rain will start clearing from the south today while we are keeping our eyes on Limpopo and the North West," he told Jacaranda FM News.
