The South African Weather Service has warned of a severe tropical storm due to hit Mozambique on Friday.
Cyclone Irina is expected to affect parts of South Africa.
The storm is expected to cause heavy rain and flash-flooding in Mozambique, while also causing torrential rains in parts of KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo.
Earlier this year, six people died and hundreds more were displaced because of a similar storm system.
