The Meteorological Services Department says Cyclone Kenneth
will not hit Zimbabwe as people on social media have wildly speculated.
“Of concern, are some messages that may have now gone
overboard to the extent of misleading the public without making recourse to the
Department about the real situation. While
we have no problem with social media, we take exception to those messages that
become sensational on matters of life and death.
“Tropical Storm Kenneth, off the north coast of Madagascar,
is projected to strengthen into a Tropical Cyclone and if it maintains its
westerly trajectory, it is set to make landfall near the Tanzanian border with
Mozambique on Thursday evening after 6PM with a circulatory speed of
approximately 200km/h.
“Areas that might be affected by heavy rains till April 27
are the southern parts of Tanzanian, northern provinces of Mozambique and
Malawi,” the department said in a statement.
MSD added that no rain is projected for Zimbabwe during
this period till Saturday.
