"Tropical Cyclone Chido To Bring Much-needed Rainfall"

Tropical Cyclone Chido is expected to reach Zimbabwe on Monday, bringing torrential rains to Matabeleland North, Matabeleland South, Masvingo, Midlands, and Harare provinces.

Strong winds averaging 50 kilometres per hour and heavy rainfall may cause destruction.

Civil Protection Unit (CPU) director Nathan Nkomo assured journalists on Friday that the authorities have made adequate preparations to address the anticipated impacts of the cyclone. Said Nkomo:

Cyclone Chido will bring much-needed rain, but, unfortunately, cyclones cause disasters.

The cabinet has already approved our disaster response budget. We need to be prepared for this cyclone, so evacuation points in areas vulnerable to it are being set up.

We are activating all systems and are on high alert in all areas where the cyclone is likely to hit.

Cyclone Chido made landfall in Mozambique early Sunday, bringing powerful winds and torrential rain. The cyclone struck approximately 40 kilometres south of the northern city of Pemba, causing significant damage and disrupting communication.

Aderito Aramuge, director of Mozambique’s National Institute of Meteorology, reported that Pemba was already experiencing the cyclone’s strong intensity. He said:

The cyclone is already affecting Pemba with a very strong intensity. We were monitoring the situation but there is no communication with Pemba since 7 am (0500 GMT).

Cyclone Chido brought gusts reaching up to 260 kilometres per hour and up to 250 millimetres of rain within 24 hours, affecting the Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces. Early footage from Pemba revealed heavy downpours, fallen trees, and damaged homes.

UNICEF teams are on the ground, working with local authorities to support the affected communities, according to a statement from the organisation.

Does the Civil Protection Unit have structures and both human and material resources? Why does it seem to be activated by imminent disaster when they start looking for millions of US dollars whenever the Meteorological services make a prediction which can be right or wrong? The cyclone Chido was initially said it will not affect Zimbabwe but it looks like the forecast are now zooming it on Zimbabwe. The CPU needs to have resources always for it to be prepared for what it is there for. They also need to reconcile any funds they are given versus where and on what used

All these disasters are not caused by God's anger on humankind but failure by humankind to manage the environment. Kurumwa nechekuchera.

They usually say the one who discovers a pending cyclone is the one who name it. Could it be that it's a Zimbabwean who discovered this cyclone named Chido?

Not true. It's named by world meteorological organisation member states of southern African countries. There are about 10 countries they sit down and decide what name to give to the next cyclone.
