“The African National Congress is deeply moved by and concerned about the plight of our neighboring countries in the Southern African Development Community that have been relentlessly battered by tropical Cyclone Idai when it first made landfall in Mozambique and then moved overland to Zimbabwe and Malawi,” ANC secretary general Ace Magashule said in a statement on Saturday.
The extent of the flooding in central Mozambique was massive and hard to comprehend. An estimate 1.7 million people were in the path of the cyclone. The Pungue and Buzi rivers had burst their river banks and as a consequence vast inland lakes had been created, extending for miles and miles in all directions, he said.
“The ANC would also be amiss not to point out that the intensification and magnitude of natural disasters, of which Cyclone Idai is only one devastating example, is directly related to the scientifically proven phenomenon of climate change, and specifically global warming.
