 According to the Meteorologist, Bramsby Bulo, the chance of rain is set to increase from 60% to 80% leading into the weekend.

 

"More heavy rain is expected in parts of Musina and Louis Trichardt. The rain is due to a combination of two systems including a surface high pressure and the tropical air from the north western parts of the country," Bulo says.

 

Meanwhile, traffic authorities in Limpopo have urged motorists to adhere to the rules of the road as we head into the holiday season.
