Floodwaters have carried corpses from a cemetery on the banks of the Umbeluze river close to Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, into surrounding homes and onto farms.
The consequences of the surging waves that inundated numerous neighborhoods in the Boane area, roughly 25 km south-west of the capital, and elsewhere were depicted in televised photographs.
According to reports, the bodies’ dispersion threatens public health.
The corpses were collected throughout the course of the weekend by local residents.
The impacted cemetery dates back more than three decades and has a large number of unmarked graves.
Tropical Cyclone Freddy made landfall in the country on Friday leading to major flooding across the region.
