Weeks of heavy rain have raised the mortality toll in South Africa, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. More rain is predicted, which could lead to further flooding, according to weather forecasts. 

Rescue operations continue in South Africa, where flooding in two northern provinces has killed at least 30 people, the government reported on Friday. 

Zimbabwe's disaster management agency states that since the start of the year, heavy rains have destroyed over 1,000 homes, killed 70 people, and caused infrastructure like roads, bridges, and schools to collapse.
