It made landfall in Mozambique on Wednesday, wreaking havoc and leaving seven people dead and 130 000 destitute.

 

As she loses momentum and moves inland, Dineo is now a low pressure system over Botswana.

 

But the Limpopo province  didn't escape Dineo's effects, with rain damage reported. 

 

Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs spokesperson Legadima Leso says Mpumalanga was also affected. 

 

"We know that four houses have been destroyed by rain in the Ehlanzeni district and in the Vhembe district two houses have been destroyed," says Leso.

The South African weather service's Wayne Venter says there've been very few reports of flooding in Limpopo or Mpumalanga overnight.

 

"Most of the rainfall occurred in Zimbabwe. 


They received 100mm to 150mm (of rain) in southern Zimbabwe over the last two days," says Venter.
