Mozambique: Red alert decreed as cyclone approaches

Mozambique disaster management officials have declared a red alert, the highest state of disaster readiness, ahead of the approach of Cyclone Kenneth to the Northern Mozambican coast.

The Cyclone formed in the Indian ocean, North of Madagascar about three days ago.

It is expected to continue heading west, making landfall in the province of Cabo Delaydo.

It is also predicted to hit Southern Tanzania, where schools have shut and people have been urged to move to safe areas.
