EASTERN CAPE - In the Eastern Cape, residents should prepare for heavy rains and flooding.
The SA Weather Service has issued a Level Four warning for the province.
At least 8 people have died, and more than 2,000 have been evacuated from Nelson Mandela Bay, notably from makeshift homes in the metro.
Local authorities have launched an appeal for donations of clothing, food, and blankets.
South Africa is in the grip of a "cutoff low-pressure system" marked by heavy rains, and a cold snap that can also bring hail, snow, and strong winds.
