About 100 people are missing in parts of eastern Zimbabwe hit by the peripheral effects of tropical cyclone Idai which has lashed Mozambique, a local lawmaker said Saturday.
More than thousands of people have been affected, power cut off and major bridges flooded in parts of the Manicaland province which borders Mozambique.
As per source "The information we have so far is that over 100 people are missing and some of them" may have died, Joshua Sacco, a member of parliament in Chimanimani district.
About 25 houses were swept away following a mudslide at Ngangu township in Chimanimani urban. There were people inside. They are part of the missing.

Mumbai bridge collapse
Mumbai Municipal Corporation has ordered an inquiry into Thursday's foot overbridge collapse after Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said he asked BMC chief Ajoy Mehta to fix "primary responsibility". "It is shocking that such an accident can take place even after a structural audit. Primary responsibility will be fixed by this evening. I have asked civic chief to find out names of those responsible," Fadnavis said while speaking to reporters after meeting the injured in St George's Hospital nearby.
Audit report of the Mumbai bridge collapse, accessed by CNN-News18, has revealed that the bridge was certified to be in a "good condition" and only needed minor repairs. Two nurses on their way to work among the six people killed and 32 injured as a major portion of a foot overbridge near the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) railway station in Mumbai collapsed on Thursday evening.
As Ranjana Tambe (40) and Apoorva Prabhu (35) were nurses at GT hospital and had been working since 2005, their colleagues said. Incidentally, several of the injured in the collapse were taken to GT hospital. Both the nurses, who were on their way for night shift, were from Dombivili. While Tambe was a nurse in ward 6, Prabhu was a nurse in the operation theatre and is survived by her husband and two children.
Bridge collapse, on the busy Dadabhai Naoroji Road, was the third in less than 18 months in the maximum city. On July 3, 2018, a pedestrian pathway of Gokhale Bridge over Andheri railway station in suburban Mumbai had collapsed, killing two and injuring five others. Nine months before, in 2017, 23 people were killed in a stampede when the Elphinstone Bridge had collapsed.
Collapse happened around 7.30 pm Thursday evening when a major portion of the bridge caved in, officials said. Some motorists who were passing beneath the bridge when it came down, were among those injured.
PM Narendra Modi said he was deeply anguished by the loss of lives due to the accident. “My thoughts are with the bereaved families. Wishing that the injured recover at the earliest. Maharashtra Government is providing all possible assistance to those affected,” he tweeted.
CM Devendra Fadnavis, announced a probe and said the guilty will be punished. He said that the bridge was audited last year and was found to be structurally sound. Also announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh for the kin of the dead and Rs 50,000 for the injured.
Terror Attack in New Zealand Mosque | Bangladesh cricket players escaped
NEW ZEALAND: Terror attacks on two Christchurch mosques left at least 49 dead Friday, with one gunman - identified as an Australian extremist, apparently livestreaming the assault that triggered the lockdown of the New Zealand city.
One of witnesses spoke of victims being shot at close range, with women and children also believed to be among those killed.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says "It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack," saying it marked "one of New Zealand's darkest days".
Also said "From what we know, it does appear to have been well planned,"adding that in addition to the dead another 20 people were seriously injured.
Gunman at one mosque was an Australian-born citizen, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in Sydney, describing him as "an extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist".
It was not clear how many attackers were involved, but Ardern said three men had been taken into custody.
2 IEDS (improvised explosive devices) were also found and neutralised by the military, police said.
Palestinian man who was in one of the mosques said he saw someone being shot in the head.
"I heard three quick shots, then after about 10 seconds it started again. It must have been an automatic, no one could pull a trigger that quick," one witness public told.
Somehow he escaped "Then people started running out. Some were covered in blood," he said, adding that he joined the fleeing crowd and managed to escape.
Video and documents circulating online, but not officially confirmed, suggested the shooter had streamed his attack on Facebook Live.
upon checking wih AFP has examined the footage, which has subsequently been taken down. Journalists experienced in verification techniques said it appeared to be genuine.
New Zealand police says "extremely distressing" and urged web users not to share it.
Manifesto had also been posted online on accounts linked to the same Facebook page, suggesting the attack was racially motivated.
Social media account had also posted a number of pictures of a semi-automatic weapon covered in the names of historical figures, many of whom were involved in the killing of Muslims.
Masjid al Noor in central Christchurch was filled with worshippers, when the attack happened.
Bangladesh cricket team, which had been in Christchurch for a test match against New Zealand that was later cancelled, all escaped without injury.
Spokesman said the attack happened as some of players got off a team bus and were about to enter the mosque.
"They are safe. But they are mentally shocked. We have asked the team to stay confined in the hotel," he told AFP.
This Mass shootings are rare in New Zealand, which tightened its gun laws to restrict access to semi-automatic rifles in 1992, two years after a mentally ill man shot dead 13 people in the South Island town of Aramoana.
Anyone over 16 can apply for a standard firearms licence after doing a safety course, which allows them to purchase and use a shotgun unsupervised.
Earlier in Christchurch, a relatively small city in the south of New Zealand, hit global headlines in 2011 when it was struck by a deadly earthquake.
