Rescue and emergency teams have been busy since Friday after heavy rains lashed the province.
On Friday, the SA Weather Service issued a warning about widespread showers and thundershowers in KwaZulu-Natal.
On Sunday Mckenzie said paramedics were busy at several crash scenes on highways.
“We remind motorists to be extremely careful when driving in rainy conditions. We would like motorists to slow down and switch on their headlights,” he said.
