One child died and eight other people suffered serious and minor injuries in Manhiça district, Maputo province, following wind and heavy rain on Tuesday night.
The child was inside a house whose wall collapsed.
According to Radio Mozambique, the gale also destroyed some social infrastructure.
Some trees were also toppled, demolishing an unknown number of dwellings.
Two classrooms were left without rooves, and some neighbourhoods were still without electricity this Thursday.
The supply of electricity to customers in Manhiça, Maputo province, was cut on Tuesday evening, due to bad weather causing trees and branches to fall on the power lines in that part of the country.
According to a note quoted by ‘Notícias Online’, the interruption affected about 5,000 customers in the areas of the Aerodrome, Ribangue, Manhiça District Hospital, Maragra sugar factory, the Malaria Research Centre (CISM) and around the machambas of Inácio Sousa.
Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) technical teams were quickly on the ground, working to restore normal electricity supply to the areas affected.
