Cold and rain predicted as KZN hosts 98th Comrades, snow on Monday
Very cold and rainy conditions have been predicted for KwaZulu-Natal from Sunday — the day the province hosts the 98th Comrades Marathon. Snow is expected in some parts of the country, including KZN, from Monday. According to Snow Report South Africa, 'low-level snow is indicated in KZN, including on the N3 between Johannesburg and Durban, and it will be chilly with rain on Sunday for the province while the Comrades Marathon is taking place'. Snow is also indicated for parts of Johannesburg, but Snow Report South Africa said 'this is still an advance forecast and will probably change'. Meanwhile, the eThekwini municipality said on Tuesday it is ready for the Comrades, which will see more than 22,000 runners hit the road from Pietermaritzburg to Durban, starting at City Hall and ending at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
