Criminal charges against those spreading fake alerts
JOHANNESBURG - Criminal charges will be laid against those who spread fake weather alerts.
That's the stern warning from the Weather Service.
It comes after a fake weather alert of extreme cold weather due to the 'Aphelion Phenomenon'
The service is forecasting a warmer winter this year.
"As we have stated. Keep to the weather service," said Lehlohonolo Thobela from the SAWS.
"Once you get a warning, adhere to it. Make sure SAWS is on par with what you are hearing before you distribute wrong things.'

At least seven killed in Eastern Cape floods
The Eastern Cape Provincial Government has confirmed the death of seven people due to recent flooding emanating from inclement weather conditions in the province. These losses occurred amid intense cold, wet, and windy conditions that have severely affected several communities in the province; however, the fatalities have for now been reported from various areas in the OR Tambo District Municipality. The South African Weather Service (SAWS) had also issued several warnings for disruptive snow, rainfall, damaging winds, and waves in parts of the province after a cold front made landfall at the weekend. The Eastern Cape Provincial Government stated that the severe weather conditions have also caused significant damage to road infrastructure, displacement of residents, and, unfortunately, loss of life. The Provincial Government's spokesperson Khusela Rantjie said police reports have also confirmed that six bodies were found along Decoligny village in Mthatha, while the seventh body was recovered at Tsolo near Bedlana River. The search is still ongoing regarding a minibus carrying school children that swept away earlier this morning. Rantjie said as disaster management teams work tirelessly to assist affected households and secure the safety of residents, Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane has deployed MECs to support the O.R. Tambo District Municipality in its efforts to rescue citizens, including ensuring the provision of necessary resources. 'As the weather persists, the province's priority is the safety and well-being of residents, while working to mitigate damage to infrastructure and restore essential services,' Rantjie said. Meanwhile, Mabuyane has emphasised the urgent need for caution, urging community members to avoid flooded areas, remain alert on slippery roads, and promptly report any hazards to authorities. 'This is a devastating reminder of nature's force. We urge everyone to exercise extra caution in areas prone to flooding. Our disaster response teams are on high alert and committed to ensuring the community's safety,' he said. Mabuyane is expected to visit the OR Tambo Municipality district on Wednesday, 11 June.

Five killed in Eastern Cape as snow, heavy rains persist
The Eastern Cape Department of Transport has confirmed that five people have been killed in an accident on the N2. The accident happened between Braakfontein and Cintsa outside East London on Tuesday morning, 10 June, as heavy downpours and snowfall continue to wreak havoc in most parts of the province. Eastern Cape Department of Transport spokesperson Unathi Binqose said adverse weather conditions likely played a role as the driver claimed that the accident occurred after he swerved to avoid a tree that had fallen onto the road. Binqose said the driver lost control of the vehicle and the taxi overturned, resulting in the death of the three adult women and two men. 'The driver and one female passenger were taken to hospital with serious injuries. 'A case of culpable homicide has been opened for further investigations,' he added. The N2 has since been closed and motorists have been advised to use the Old Transkei Road. Meanwhile, the South African Weather Service (SAWS) has increased the alert for disruptive rain in the Eastern Cape to an orange level nine. The weather service had already issued multiple warnings over the weekend for rain, damaging winds, and snow in most parts of the Eastern Cape. In the latest warning, the weather service said a cut-off low system is expected to persist over the interior of the country, resulting in heavy showers and thundershowers over the eastern half of the Eastern Cape with possible flooding over the OR Tambo District Municipality. Possible impacts include widespread flooding of roads and settlements, disruption to transport routes and travel services, as well as prolonged disruption to essential services such as water, electricity, and services to communities and schools. The warning comes as major roads and mountain passes were closed on Monday in the Eastern Cape due to snowfall. As of 11:00 on Tuesday, this is how things stand: The Penhoek pass on the N6 between Komani & Aliwal North is open for traffic. The Wapadsberg pass on the R61 between Graaff-Reinet & Cradock is open for traffic. The Lootsberg pass on the N9 between Graaff-Reinet & Middleburg is open for traffic.
