Zimbabwe was the latest Southern African Development Community (SADC)
country to issue flood warnings on Wednesday after heavy rains in the
region.
The country’s Meteorological Services Department said low-lying areas in the
north and south of Zimbabwe were at greater risk of flooding. Rivers near
the Beitbridge border with South Africa have already flooded.
Parts of Harare’s central business district were flooded on Tuesday
afternoon after the ageing drainage system failed to cope with large volumes
of rainwater.
The head of the country’s Civil Protection Unit (CPU), Madzudzo Pawadyira
said the ground was waterlogged and more rain was forecast in the country.
Pawadyira said aid agencies like Médecins Sans Frontières were on standby to
help those affected.
The CPU added that they were ready to provide tents to those hit by the
floods.
