NATIONAL NEWS - Severe thunderstorms are expected across a number of provinces in the country on Tuesday with the South African Weather Service (SAWS) warning of heavy rain, localised flooding, hail and strong winds.
Gauteng, the eastern part of the North West province, the eastern Free State, western Mpumalanga, south-western Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal are expected to bear the brunt of the thunderstorms.
The SAWS also cautioned that the thunderstorms could bring with them the possibility of localised flooding in low-lying areas and the risk of damage to cars on the roads, as well as critical infrastructure.
This could cause damage to both informal and formal settlements and houses, and business structures.
