Parts of KwaZulu-Natal turn into a 'magical winter wonderland'


Snow has blanketed the Drakensberg as these photos from a farm outside Underberg show.
Motorists using the R617 between Boston and Bulwer, and roads into Kokstad, found travelling a challenge after snow fell in several parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
These roads were among several which the MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Neliswa Peggy Nkonyeni, warned were likely to be unsafe as rain, snow and bitterly cold temperatures sweep across the province. Areas at special risk include the Drakensberg mountains, the towns of Kokstad, Underberg and Nquthu, and Van Reenen’s Pass.
“A team will be dispatched to assess if there is any damage to transport infrastructure once the heavy rains subside, and they will put together a report on how the department can intervene. We also have teams on the ground who are on 24-hour standby and our Road Traffic Inspectorate are diverting traffic in areas where roads and bridges have been flooded, especially in low-lying areas.”

Hikers in the KZN Drakensberg have been asked to be extra cautious.
Emergency personnel have responded to two separate snakebite incidents in the region, in less than a week. Both involved puff adders. 
A 38-year-old hiker was rushed to the ICU after he was bitten by the venomous snake in the southern Berg, this past weekend. 
A 15-year-old boy was hospitalised, last week, after suffering a bite along Drakensberg Gardens road in the Underberg area.

Wolfpack hit KZN's beaches and bush


Wolfpack hit KZN’s beaches and bush
By Tanya Waterworth
Durban - SA celeb Aewon Wolf has the word “Durban” tattooed across his stomach.
With that level of passion for his home city, it will come as no surprise that Wolf, also co-founder of the Durban creative collective The Wolfpack, has come to the fore in promoting KZN as the tourism destination locally and nationally.
Speaking to the Independent on Saturday this week, Wolf said that along with another Durban celeb and muso, Kyle Deutsch (also part of The Wolfpack), and in collaboration with producer Earl Evans, they wrote and produced title track "We Have It All", which is expected to be dropped on Wednesday.
