Flooding in Kavimvira: schools, homes and RN30 under water
The rising waters of the Nyangara marsh and Lake Tanganyika are flooding several schools, houses and hotels in Kavimvira. The RN30, towards the border, is submerged, which also blocks its works. We cross by pirogue, and the presence of hippopotamuses is a danger.
