What to know locally in Ladysmith

When Van Reenen's Pass closes for snow, roadside crews from Ladysmith help stranded cars and trucks at the top and bottom of the pass. Farmers around Colenso, Elandslaagte and Roosboom often need tractors pulled out of wet lands. Car transport runs along the N3 to Durban and Gauteng, and car trailer hire helps families moving between Ladysmith and the Drakensberg towns.

Ladysmith on the road

Ladysmith sits on the N11 near where it meets the N3, so the town gets traffic from Van Reenen's Pass and the long freight corridor between Durban and Gauteng. Van Reenen's Pass is steep and winding, and in winter snow and ice can close it, leaving trucks and cars stuck on the pass or at the top. Fog often hangs over the Tugela valley. Commuters and taxis travel between Ladysmith, Ezakheni and Steadville, and farmers around Colenso and Elandslaagte run tractors and bakkies on gravel roads. Holiday traffic toward the Drakensberg brings caravans, boats and trailers. People here ask for truck recovery off the N3, car tows into town and tow bars for farm and holiday trailers.
