Police in KwaZulu-Natal have deployed members to provide assistance and warm food to commuters who have been stuck on the N3 between Estcourt and Mooi River from Friday, 20 September 2024 due to heavy snow that fell in the area.
Among the stranded commuters are police officers, who despite being in the same situation as the rest, are providing security services to fellow commuters.
The management of police in KwaZulu-Natal have mobilized business partners who have already started preparing food and warm clothing for those who are stuck in the freezing snow. Despite unfavourable flying conditions, police, working with other rescue and humanitarian entities, are braving the conditions to preserve life and deliver much needed basic services.
