Fading Cyclone Freddy wreaks havoc

CABINET yesterday said despite tropical Cyclone Freddy having weakened, it left a trail of destruction in some parts of the country where it destroyed infrastructure.

Speaking at a post-Cabinet briefing in Harare, Local Government minister July Moyo appealed for assistance for the affected communities.

“There were still some heavy rains in some parts of southern Zimbabwe and there are areas whose infrastructure has been affected by floods, particularly schools and housing,” Moyo said.
