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 CycloneIdai'.

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.

Power utility company Eskom said power imports from neighbouring Mozambique had been affected by the cyclone and as a result had rolled out stage 4 load-shedding. The country's information ministry permanent secretary, Nick Mangwana, said the bad weather had made it difficult to carry out rescue operations.

The Meteorological Department has put four other provinces namely Manicaland, Masvingo, Mashonaland East and Mashonaland Central on high alert and said these were at risk over the next few days of suffering devastation from the cyclone.
