Forecaster Wayne Venter says South Africa is experiencing a high-pressure system which is leading to the warm to hot conditions across the northern and eastern parts of the country.

"A heat wave with persistently high temperatures is expected over the extreme eastern parts of the Northern Cape, the northern and extreme western parts of the Free State, as well as in places of the North West province from today (Friday) until at least Tuesday.”
