Re: [Overland] Moz Red Alert

[Mike Slater]

Thanks Hennie.  Currently (and probably for weeks to come), not possible to drive more than 100km north of Maputo, or anywhere South from Xai-Xai.  

And the height of the flood waves on the Incomati and Limpopo rivers will only reach the area in a few days.

A major disaster at least as bad as the year 2000 floods which caused huge havoc with some road repairs taking over a year to complete.
