Watch this video as Firstpost explains how tensions have escalated across major South African cities, including Johannesburg, Durban, and Soweto, as anti-migrant protests turned violent. Demonstrators targeted foreign-owned businesses, torched vehicles, and clashed with riot police, who deployed rubber bullets and stun grenades to regain control. The surge in civil unrest follows widespread backlash against a Constitutional Court ruling permitting undocumented asylum seekers to submit applications. In response to deteriorating conditions, the Department of Home Affairs temporarily suspended processing directives, while officials clarified that the court's legal mandate remains intact. Amid mounting safety concerns, the US Embassy in Pretoria issued an urgent security alert, urging American citizens to avoid protest hotspots, monitor local news, and plan alternative travel routes. While the US travel advisory remains at Level 2, authorities stay on high alert as President Cyril Ramaphosa’s government works to balance constitutional obligations with restoring public order and easing community frustration over strained public resources. Josh Barnes brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.

Hello everyone, welcome to SA Today on 4 October 2026. Today in South Africa, we begin with crowded beaches today across South Africa Today. A view of the Maalgate River Mouth.

South Africa Weather for Today & Tomorrow Update
South Africa can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies and cool conditions across much of the country today, although central and northeastern regions will be warmer. Very isolated showers and thundershowers may develop ahead of a cold front that is set to make landfall on Tuesday. As a significant cut-off low forms on Saturday, a band of showers and thunderstorms will emerge over the Northern Cape Province, spreading eastward into the Western and later the Eastern Cape Province. The South African Weather Service has issued Yellow Level 2 warnings for severe thunderstorms—bringing the risk of heavy rain, hail, strong gusty winds, and frequent lightning—in the eastern parts of the central and eastern Northern Cape Province and the Beaufort West area of the Western Cape Province, where localized flooding of roads, bridges, and settlements is possible. Furthermore, a Yellow Level 2 warning for disruptive rain is in effect for western parts of the Eastern Cape Province, where persistent downpours could lead to additional flooding through Sunday. Residents are urged to stay updated on forecasts and take precautions in areas prone to adverse weather and flooding.

South Africa Weather for Today & Tomorrow Update
A second strong upper-air system, or cut-off low, is developing over Namibia and is poised to bring another round of severe weather to southern Africa this weekend. The South African Weather Service has issued a Yellow Level 2 warning for KwaZulu-Natal, where severe thunderstorms with heavy rainfall, hail, and frequent lightning could cause localised flooding and damage to infrastructure and homes. Additional Orange Level 5 warnings are in effect for the north-eastern Northern Cape and western Free State, where even more intense storms are likely. Yellow Level 2 alerts have also been issued for severe thunderstorms in the western Free State, extreme west of the North West, and central Northern Cape, while disruptive morning rain is anticipated along the KwaZulu-Natal coast. Damaging winds may affect much of the Northern Cape (except the southeast), along with the western and northern Western Cape and parts of the North West, raising the risk of power disruptions, hazardous driving, and structural damage. Residents are urged to stay informed and take precautions as these dynamic weather conditions unfold.

Hello everyone, welcome to SA Today on 15 September 2026. Today in South Africa, we begin with a big hailstorm in Durban in South Africa today. Rain overnight in Upington caused flooding and more rain around Kimberley and Kathu. We make a stop at the NAMPO in Bredasdorp. Elephants look like they are walking on water along the H7 near Satara Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park, and we will show you more from across South Africa Today.

South Africa Weather for Today & Tomorrow Update
A cold front sweeping across the southern regions will bring a cold, wet, and windy day to both the Western and Eastern Cape, with rain and brisk winds making for challenging outdoor conditions. Ahead of this front, much of central and eastern South Africa will experience warm to hot temperatures, mostly sunny skies, and gusty winds, creating a stark north-south contrast in weather. There are no impact-based warnings currently in place from the South African Weather Service, but fire danger remains high: very hot, dry, and windy conditions could lead to runaway veld and bush fires over large parts of Gauteng Province and Limpopo Province, as well as the Mpumalanga Highveld. Residents in the southern Namakwa, Cape Winelands, Central Karoo, and Little Karoo should also prepare for a spell of very cold, wet, and windy weather from tomorrow through Friday, as advisories remain in effect for these areas.
