A number of people were left stranded by rising rivers, state media reported.
This follows the death of eight people, including four children, on Saturday after their car was swept off a bridge in Mashonaland West, near the town of Kadoma.
On Saturday, the main highway linking Harare to the Chirundu border
post with neighbouring Zambia, had to be shut down for several hours to
allow flood waters from a nearby dam to subside.
However, by Sunday, the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation’s Power FM
station reported that the waters had subsided and the road had been
re-opened.
The broadcaster said “scores” of people who were reported to
be stranded in Mashonaland west and central provinces on Saturday
had since been rescued.
But search and rescue operations were underway on Sunday for others who might be marooned.
It did not say how many people were believed to be stranded.
Two other people who were swept off an island in the middle of the Angwa river were found to have managed to swim to safety.
