The President declared a State of disaster yesterday after reports of massive destruction of property and more than 30 deaths especially in Chimanimani yesterday.
The Herald today said the death toll had now risen to 65 according to Chimanimani East Member of Parliament Joshua Sacco.
Mnangagwa was yesterday disparaged by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change for undertaking the trip in the midst of the disaster.
Mnangagwa left for the UAE yesterday at the invitation of Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Sultan Al Nahyan.
