At least one person died when Cyclone Irina lashed the coasts of Mozambique and South Africa with heavy winds and rains at the weekend, officials said Monday.
“A tree fell on a house and the roof collapsed,” killing an elderly man in Mozambique's southern Gaza province, said Rita Almeida, spokeswoman for the national disaster agency.
Irina passed over the Indian Ocean island of Madagascar last week, killing one person.
In the South African city of Durban, beaches were closed as waves reached three-metre (16-foot), municipal spokesman Thabo Mofokeng said. Ships were ordered to remain in port. - Sapa-AFP
