Beira mayor blames Mozambique government for CycloneIdai deaths
Johannesburg – Daviz Simango, the mayor of Beira, one of the city’s worst hit by Cyclone Idai, has blamed the Mozambique government for the deaths of hundreds of Mozambicans in the ensuing floods.
The death toll in Mozambique is approaching 500 as flood levels recede and more bodies are found – and could still climb. However, the death toll outside of the city was far higher due to city authorities warning citizens within the city limits of the coming disaster with the red alert but failing to warn those in the rural areas.
