Tokwe - Mukosi faces imminent floods

The Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, Dr Ignatius Chombo has advised people living downstream of Tokwe-Mukosi Dam along the Tokwe River to immediately move five kilometres from the river bank and seek higher ground.

In a statement, the Minister said this is because the areas around the Tokwe-Mukosi Dam are at risk of flooding and must therefore take necessary precaution.

Areas likely to be affected include Gororo, Nyahombe, Tokwani, Ngundu and other areas along the Tokwe River.

Dr Chombo also advises motorists to exercise maximum caution when approaching bridges on the Tokwe River downstream to the dam.
