The families abandoned their 18 houses which had either been submerged by water or broken down after their Kirando Village was flooded by Lake Tanganyika water.<\/p>\n

Kirando Councillor Kakuli Seba told africa-press during a phone interview that Lake Tanganyika water had returned to its original volume of water 30 years ago.<\/p>\n

He said other structures which had been damaged or submerged by water included a petrol station and Nkondwe Beach Resort.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe structure of Nkondwe Beach Resort has been submerged by the lake water and people who came to the scene could easily catch fish from its rooms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A cross-section of fishermen said the fishing business had been affected by floods.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now very difficult to do business as the areas on the shores of Lake Tanganyika are flooded,\u201d said one of the fishermen, Mr Johnson Kapela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
