Graders have arrived at the Barkly Pass on the R58 road between Barkly and Elliot, as efforts to have this mountain pass reopened to traffic intensify. The graders have been brought in to clear the thick blanket of snow that has forced the closure of this road for well over 24hrs.

Meanwhile, strong winds continue to wreak havoc in the province, damaging houses and disrupting the flow of traffic on the roads as vehicles have been toppled over on the N2 road near Dutywa.

Road users, motorists in particular are urged to the extra cautious or avoid being on the road completely if their travelling is not essential.
