Witbank Magistrate's Court operating with limited services today
Court manager Thulani Mabena explained that they reached the decision to limit services because it is not safe to run the court without water.
'For tomorrow, we will reassess the situation in the morning. If there's still no water, we will then decide whether to postpone or to continue,' he said.
Services that are proceeding are those that involve domestic violence, urgent court applications, and urgent state services; all the other cases were postponed.
'Despite the current challenges, we remain committed to upholding high standards in public service and ensuring that your essential needs are addressed as best as possible during this period,' Mabena concluded.

Sinkhole repair on Oxford and Cotswold roads delayed
The Johannesburg Roads Agency's (JRA) sinkhole repair on Oxford and Cotswold roads in Saxonwold continues to be delayed due to hydraulic challenges, after being worked on in February this year. Head of department for regional operations, Khaya Gqibitole, in February, explained to the Gazette that the sinkhole was caused by dislodged double-barrel stormwater pipes. Also read: Repairs underway on Johannesburg City Library's piqué flooring 'The dislodged section of the pipes has resulted in debris accumulation inside the pipes, which led to the blockage of the system and subsequently a sinkhole formation at the corner of Cotswold and Oxford roads.' On July 2, Gqibitole explained to the Gazette that a JRA maintenance team conducted repair work, but there were persistent hydraulic challenges. 'The issue will be escalated to the JRA Infrastructure Planning Department for a redesign.' The JRA promised to respond on July 30 regarding the status and outcome of the escalation.

Cooler conditions with cloud cover for KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal will experience cool temperatures and partly cloudy skies on Tuesday, with no extreme weather expected, but residents should still brace for a chilly day. Forecaster Phemelo Zonke noted, 'KwaZulu-Natal will remain fine and cool with Richards Bay expecting highs of around 23 degrees, and cooler conditions in Pietermaritzburg with a maximum of 18.' Despite partly cloudy skies, KZN is unlikely to see rainfall. Zonke explained, 'There are no isolated thundershowers forecast for KwaZulu-Natal. The focus will be on mild to cool temperatures, especially in inland towns.' Eastern parts of the province may start the morning with a light mist or fog, but conditions will clear up gradually through the afternoon. Coastal towns like Durban will enjoy slightly warmer highs compared to inland areas. Most of the province is expected to have consistent weather throughout the day. Zonke said, 'It's a stable weather pattern overall, no severe weather alerts, just a mix of sun and cloud with cooler air settling over the region.' Residents are urged to keep warm and continue monitoring forecasts if weather conditions change suddenly, especially in areas close to the Drakensberg, where temperatures drop quickly after sunset.
