KZN officials on Saturday called a meeting to formalize a plan of action.
Mpumalanga Cogta MEC Mandla Msibi appealed for calm but asked residents to stay vigilant.
“We have advised the communities on the side line to move from the side lines because we don’t know how extensive the cyclone will be.”
While Limpopo disaster management teams will be monitoring areas that are prone flooding MEC Basikopo Makamu explained, “We’ve already started to activate our disaster management centres.”
The South African Weather Service issued an alert level nine for Mpumalanga and Limpopo, warning of possible disruptive rain as well as damage to infrastructure including housing, roads and bridges.
