The Harare government has declared a state of disaster in areas affected by the storm.
CHIMANIMANI - Tropical Cyclone Idai started easing off in landlocked Zimbabwe on Tuesday but left in its wake massive devastation, loss of lives and destroyed infrastructure.
Thousands were forced to seek refuge in the hills and mountains dotting the province as water levels rose and homes – built from farm bricks and mud – collapsed under the rain, mudslides or were simply washed away by torrential rains. Intact Churches provided refuge. “What I witnessed left my heart torn and bleeding. People lost their lives. Some are still missing. Homes, livestock and infrastructure have been destroyed. The people have no food and clothes.
Ethanol producer, Greenfuel, on Tuesday deployed massive earth-moving machinery to ensure that the badly damaged Tanganda-Chipinge road was usable.
