Last week Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa issued a general call for help from the international community. Idai, one of southern Africa's worst weather disasters in decades, pounded Mozambique’s port city of Beira with winds of up to 170km/h near midnight on March 14 before moving inland to Zimbabwe and Malawi. It destroyed buildings and displaced thousands of people.
Local government minister July Moyo said in Harare on Tuesday that the dogs would assist in searching for people feared buried in mudslides."The first team should arrive today and another team is being mobilised from Cape Town ... they will be deployed together with our army and police units.”
