In the Midlands province, 27 families in Chirumanzu and Chiwundura were rendered homeless after Cyclone Idai hit the area. Midlands Provincial Affairs minister Larry Mavima had this to say:
We have been busy touring areas in the province where the cyclone-affected villagers and destroyed property.
We have been receiving donations to help the victims who had their crops and property destroyed and we continue to call for more because we intend to parcel out some to Chimanimani and Masvingo as well.
