A severe hailstorm hits Masvingo on Monday, damaging homes, vehicles and other property in the city and surrounding rural areas. Residents describe the event as among the worst to hit the area in years, with hail and storm impacts leaving visible destruction across multiple neighbourhoods.
Officials cited by Zimbabwean outlets say at least 60 households are affected. Reports describe roofs being blown off in some houses, and damage to windows, sliding gates and solar panels, alongside harm to cars and other household infrastructure. Some families reportedly seek temporary shelter after the storm. Coverage emphasizes the extent of household and property losses, while differing in detail and emphasis between outlets that focus on the count of households versus the broader trail of damage and immediate impacts.
