Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Several families in Gwanda District are appealing for help after their homes were damaged by heavy rains that hit the area recently.<\/p>\n

Two schools in the district also suffered damages as a result of the rains.<\/p>\n

The local Civil Protection Committee has been running around to provide some of the affected households with groceries and tents, according to The Sunday News.<\/p>\n

An assessment that has been conducted has shown that about 25 homesteads have been affected in Enyandeni and Gwakwe villages.<\/p>\n

Affected families need building materials, groceries, blankets and clothing.<\/p>\n

In a report to the National Civil Protection Unit, Matabeleland South Secretary for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Mrs Latiso Dlamini-Maseko said one child was injured during the incident. She said:<\/p>\n

Strong winds and heavy rains left a trail of destruction in Gwanda District on the 27th of October 2022. About 25 households were affected by the heavy rains and the strong winds. The waiting shelter in Stanmore was partially destroyed and assessment is yet to be done.<\/p>\n

The provincial office managed to provide a few tents and some food items though there is a wide gap. As such the province is requesting for financial assistance to carry out more assessments and provide help for the affected.<\/p>\n

A report has shown that two classroom blocks at Moodspruit Primary School and Kafusi High School have been affected. One classroom block was damaged in each of the schools.<\/p>\n

Kafusi village head, Mr Solomon Hlali said the damaged classroom block had to be repaired as it would affect learning.<\/p>\n
