The Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Ellen Gwaradzimba warned on Sunday that a huge catastrophe in looming in Vumba as one of the province’s largest dams, Manyera Dam’s wall could collapse due to heavy rainfall caused by a cyclone.

The wall was left weak in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Idai which hit the area with a ferocity more than a week ago. Gwaradzimba had this to say:

> I am told that Manyera Dam in Vumba has shown some signs of distress which could affect people who are living in the downstream. We discussed the matter in a meeting yesterday night (Saturday).

> We have sent a team of water engineers to assess the situation. We have alerted at least 31 families who are living downstream who are most likely to be affected.

> In fact, throughout the province, we are expecting to move people who are living downstream (of dams). We draw a lesson from the Tugwi-Mukosi (dam) issue in Masvingo.

> We are also very aware that some people will refuse to be moved from their areas, but as the government, we are going to force them.
