Manyame River bursts banks

THE Civil Protection Unit (CPU) has warned people staying along Manyame River’s catchment area to guard against being swept away by flash floods, as all the five dams on the river system have spilled.

“The river is not only in flood, but is also characterised by swift currents. These currents are strong, thus, can easily drag and sweep away people, canoes and anything that ventures into the river.
