HE much-feared Cyclone Chalane, which later downgraded to a tropical depression has passed Zimbabwe, the weather forecaster has said.
However, over the past three days the tropical depression destroyed some infrastructure mainly in the Eastern Highlands, including Chipinge and Chimanimani.
“The tropical depression has greatly weakened and has now passed, we continue to monitor specific areas to assess the rainfalls and downstream effects, as significant rainfalls occurred along the path of the system,” reads part of a statement from the Meteorological Services Department (MSD) released yesterday.
The MSD said while light rains and windy conditions are projected, it will continue to monitor the situation for the safety of the people.
