THE cold front in Western Cape is expected to remain until today, the SA Weather Service has said.
"Persistent rain can be expected in the George area today [yesterday] and early hours of tomorrow [today]," forecaster Bransby Bulo said yesterday.
Temperatures were expected to drop in the southern part of Gauteng, southern KwaZulu-Natal and southern Free State.
The rest of the country will have fine weather conditions, although temperatures were also expected to drop.
Winter storms in Cape Town displaced more than 2000 people, the city's disaster risk management centre said on Sunday.
Spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said 547 shacks were damaged and 2266 people displaced by storms and flooding in Bishop Lavis, Hout Bay and parts of Gugulethu, Strand and Khayelitsha. In Philippi, a graveyard was flooded.
Elsewhere, the roofs of houses were blown off.
Informal settlements were flooded in Atlantis, Blackheath, Elsies River, Kalkfontein, Langa, Lavender Hill, Lotus River, Milnerton and Parkwood.
Western Cape police senior management was expected to visit the affected areas yesterday.
"The purpose of the visit is to assess the extent to which the communities have been affected by the floods, and look at bringing the necessary services closer to affected communities," Colonel Tembinkosi Kinana said.
