Fresh floodwave threatens southern Mozambique
MAPUTO. Mar 21 . Mozambican authorities told thousands of people In the southern town of Chokwe to leave their homes today as a giant flood wave threatened to swamp It a second time, reports AFP.
Antonio Nguenha. head of the Gaza provincial flood commission, warned that water was pouring down the Limpopo river from South Africa and could engulf the town within the next 48 hours.
He told Chokwe's 15.000 inhabitants to leave Immediately.
"Due to this wave Chokwe cou|d experience flooding of the same magnitude as of last month". Nguenha told state radio.
Heavy floods hit Chokwe early February, killing 300 inhabitants and forcing many to take to roofs and treetops to await rescue.
The latest flood wave also threatens the nearby villages of Chilembene. Canicado and Aldeia de Barragem as well the provincial capital Xai-Xai further downstream, Nguenha said.
At the height of last month’s floods, the Limpopo waters nearly reached the first floors of buildings in the lower part of Xai-Xai.
The total official death toll from last month's floods, which hit southern and central Mozambique, still stands at 492. However, both government and aid agencies believe the final toll will be much higher.
Meanwhile, state radio reported the Maputo river had burst its banks again, cutting across the country's northsouth highway in Manhica dis-
trict, about 80 kilometres north of the capital Maputo.
Further upstream, the Maputo river waters have cut the main access routes to the important tourist resort of Ponta de Ouro near the border with South Africa, the radio said.
River levels elsewhere in the region are still being checked. A spokeswoman for the southern region water administration (ARA-Sul), Olinda de Sousa told AFP Tuesday: "We are still compiling the general river information which will be released later today".
The national water board (DNA) reported however that the level of the Buzi river had risen substantially by early Monday and was already flooding Buzi town, in central Sofala province. It said the situation could worsen over the next few days as waters from the Chi-camba dam flowed into the
Levels of the neighbouring Pungue river were dropping, the DNA reported, but advised people to remain cautious. The water authority said the rains had not made any difference to levels of the Save river.
