they are on their way
currently over Bloemhof area and growing.
with a bit of "luck" they will move so slowly, that by the time they reach Gauteng, they will be in dissipating phase ...with a bit of "luck"
Thunderstorm life cyle is approx 4 hours
1st hour developing
2nd hour most violent time = Mature
3rd hour start dissipating
4th hour remaining high cloud and cloud to cloud lightning with light rain

I see that the majority of the weather radar sites are "down" at the moment, so only an overview of the SA situation is available at the moment.

 

[prospect]

My car is filthy. Safe to wash it tomorrow morning?
