According to the metro's spokesperson, Qondile Khedama, parts of the Mangaung Metro’s water supply have been interrupted because Bloem Water is experiencing raw water pumping challenges at the Welb.
Traffic on the N3 has waned slightly since the start of the 16 December public holiday when holidaymakers set out on their festive holiday with a trip to the coast.
High volumes of holidaymakers are expected to hit the road from Gauteng to KwaZulu-Natal on Thursday, amid concerns about driver ineptitude and accidents.
