Jozi FM presenter Penny Ntuli has lashed out at the response by authorities after thousands of motorists were stuck on the snow covered roads around Van Reenen’s pass on the N3 highway at the weekend.
The former Gagasi FM personality was among thousands of motorists who got stuck as the heavy snow filled the N3 in KwaZulu-Natal over the weekend, putting motorists in a situation many were not prepared for. The N3 is managed by the SA National Roads Agency (Sanral), with parts of it operated by the N3 Toll Concession.
Ntuli had been traveling to Durban bound Johannesburg to attend a funeral on Friday when she and her “Uzalo” actor friend, Buyani Masikane, got stuck on the road between Montrose and Vereeniging on the N3 toll route.
Prior to the snow falling and motorists being stuck authorities in KwaZulu-Natal had put emergency workers on high alert as the South African Weather Services weather systems have predicted a ‘snow storm’ to hit uThukela and Okhahlamba this weekend.
The former Gagasi FM DJ shared on Facebook updates, raising awareness around the circumstances they were faced with and also her concerns with emergency services response rate.
