While the current conditions have been linked to a cut-off low, Vox Weather meteorologist Annette Botha believes that may not be the driving force behind this weather system.

The South African Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Gauteng, excluding the City of Tshwane today. Heavy downpours, localised flooding, hail and damaging winds are expected. Elvis Presslin spoke to forecaster, Lehlohonolo Thobela for more
The South African Weather Service has issued yellow level 2 severe thunderstorm warnings across these provinces. A higher yellow level 4 warning is active today for southern KwaZulu-Natal, the Overberg District, and Langeberg Municipality in the Western Cape. The Overstrand Municipality says its disaster teams are on the ground diverting water after recent floods.
Incessant rains have submerged villages across Limpopo and Mpumalanga, sweeping away homes, cutting off roads and leaving communities isolated and desperate. The Kruger National Park had to suspend visits and evacuate some guests and staff by helicopter. The floods have claimed 11 lives in Limpopo while 20 people have died in Mpumalanga since that start of the heavy rains last month. Besides the human cost, the two provinces now face repair bills to roads, bridges and other public infrastructure that will cost billions of rand, money the provinces simply do not have. An orange level 9 warning has been issued by the South African Weather Service, forecasting yet more rain in affected areas and warning communities to remain alert and to stay clear of roads and overflowing rivers. But with food and other resources running low, many have no option but to brave the flooded, damaged and dangerous roads. To get more details about the weather in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to South African Weather Service forecaster, Amukelani Mkhari
President Cyril Ramaphosa has described the recent floods in Limpopo as catastrophic, with 36 houses damaged in Mbaula village. The province is experiencing widespread flooding, affecting hundreds of families, particularly in Vhembe and Mopani districts. The South African Weather Service has issued a level 10 warning, with further heavy rainfall expected. The government has deployed multi-disciplinary teams to assist affected areas, including rescue operations and damage assessments. Elvis Presslin spoke to Limpopo government spokesperson, Ndavhe Ramakuela
The South African Weather Service has escalated warnings for heavy rainfall, issuing an Orange Level 9 alert for disruptive rain leading to widespread flooding from yesterday, Sunday, into today, Monday. This affects eastern parts of Limpopo's Mopani District, Bushbuckridge in Mpumalanga, and Collins Chabane Local Municipality. The region has already seen significant downpours and heightened flood risks, Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC Meteorologist Mduduzi Mthembu.

Ray White speaks to Lehlohonolo Thobela, Meteorologist and Weather Forecaster at the South African Weather Service, about the increasingly volatile weather patterns sweeping across the country. Thobela explains that the recent hail, thunder and heavy downpours are likely just the beginning, with early next year expected to bring even more intense and frequent storms. Gauteng, already gearing up for a week of dramatic skies, will see powerful systems early in the week followed by lighter showers into the weekend. While the rainfall offers relief to some farmers, others face mounting losses as crops suffer under severe conditions. With major dams such as the Vaal and Bloemhof still sitting at high levels after days of relentless rain, authorities are closely managing water flows to reduce the risk of flooding. Thobela breaks down what’s happening now, what South Africans can expect in the months ahead, and how best to prepare for a potentially rough summer season. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Have you noticed how southern Africa tends to be hit by deadly cyclones that leave a trail of destruction? Right now the people of Mozambique are trying to piece their lives together after Cyclone Jude battered the country this month. Before it, two others, Chido and Dikeledi, hit the same part of southern Africa in quick succession. All three claimed dozens of lives, leaving schools, homes and other buildings severely damaged. Today Alan Kasujja sits down with Lehlohonolo Thobela of the South African Weather Service in Pretoria. “If you speak about Mozambique, Madagascar, South Africa, those are usually the areas that usually experience tropical cyclones. Geographically, the Indian Ocean is in the eastern parts. The Indian Ocean itself is where cyclones are born. Why? Because they need warmth”, Lehlohonolo says. Alan also hears from Mary Louise Eagleton of UNICEF, who is in Maputo. She's been to the most affected areas and shares what she's seen.
Amy MacIver is joined by Dr Peter Johnston, climate scientist at UCT’s Climate System Analysis Group (CSAG), to explore a question many listeners ask daily, “How accurate are our weather services, really?” With decades of experience in climate forecasting and climate risk, Dr Johnston explains why public scepticism is understandable—but often misplaced.

South Africa has been ranked the most targeted country in Africa for cybercrime, accounting for 40% of all ransomware attacks and nearly 35% of infostealer incidents on the continent. This is according to global cybersecurity company ESET’s latest bi-annual Threat Report, which highlights key trends shaping the digital security landscape. In June 2024, South Africa’s National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) reported that it was hit with a ransomware attack, which disrupted its systems, deleted backups, and stole 1.2-terabytes of data – in the middle of dealing an mpox outbreak. The breach also put sensitive medical data of millions of patients at risk. More recently, in January 2025, the South African Weather Service disclosed that its ICT-base systems were disrupted by an attack led by ransomware-as-a-service group RansomHub – who have racked up hundreds of victims, since they were first detected at the start of 2024.
