Durban -Snow has not fallen on Van Reenen`s pass between Harrismith and Ladysmith.
On Friday, false reports and old photographs of heavy snowfalls in Van Reenen’s Pass are being circulated on social media creating unnecessary concern amongst road users said the N3 Toll Concession spokesperson Anita Heyl.
