The information ministry in a statement on Sunday said Mnangagwa had"shortened his trip to the UAE to make sure he is involved directly with the national response by way of relief to victims of Cyclone Idai".
The Civil Protection Unit said 31 people had so far lost their lives with hundreds more missing in the Chimanimani district, which has borne the worst brunt of the cyclone. In South Africa, the continent’s most industrialised nation, the devastation of the cyclone has resulted in an electricity deficit being experienced.
Eskom said it was"unlikely that imports from Mozambique will be restored in the next few days, which we can now confirm was affected by the cyclone".
He knew about it before he left.
What's wrong with African leaders with their penchant to travel abroad? Apparently his counterpart in Mozambique was also abroad
Prior to his departure he knew very well that a natural disaster was looming but preferred to display such arrogance & left. It's like a husband who decide to go away knowing very well that his pregnant wife has just gone into complicated labour pains.Such a heartless leader.
