Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Cyclone Freddy tore through Mozamique on Friday (Feb. 24) with winds reached up to 113 kilometres. It made landfall in the eastern city of Vilankulos<\/b><\/p>\n

In its wake, it left many Mozambicans whose lives had been turned upside down.<\/p>\n

Maria Vasco Timbe and her four children found themselves picking up the pieces of what was left of their home in Vilankulos.<\/p>\n

“It happened yesterday at 3pm, my son Nelson came and said to me: Mama at home, you won’t like what you see. Then I came home and really saw that everything was destroyed,” she says disheartened.<\/p>\n

“No blankets, no food. I couldn\u2019t use anything in there. I started thinking, how am I going to start building again, because from where I stand it is not possible. How am I going to do it? I started to cry when I saw that my children would not go to school because they no longer had books and exercise books.”<\/p>\n

A tropical cyclone scientist at the U.N. weather agency, said Mozambique was already reeling from floods and the cyclone will compound a volatile scenario.<\/p>\n

The cyclone was projected to weaken as it continued through southern Africa.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi and Botswana should await heavy rainful, the regional weather centre on the island of Reunion said.<\/p>\n
