Earth Times: "Maputo - After it claimed nine lives and destroyed property in Mozambique's northern coastal zone, tropical cyclone Jokwe is forecast to return in full rage and lash the coastal areas of Maputo, Gaza and Inhambane provinces, officials said Wednesday. Authorities in Inhambane launched a blue alert for some districts in Inhambane, warning people to take precautionary measures to avert a major tragedy in the next 24 hours when the cyclone is expected to sway back to the Mozambique Channel and hit the mainland.
'Over the next 24 hours, the coast of Inhambane will be affected by strong winds and heavy rains provoked by the passage of the tropical cyclone,' David Dumanagane of Mozambique's national disaster management agency, INGC was quoted in the Noticias newspaper as saying."
