Hwange district has been hit by flash floods following heavy rains received in the area since Friday night.
The rains and accompanying flash floods destroyed property, with the Civil Protection Department (CPD) deploying a team to assess the damage and to conduct rescue operations.
While damage to property has been widespread and houses have been inundated with water, no injuries or deaths have been recorded so far.
The Meteorological Services Department on Friday issued a warning of heavy rains and urged people to be cautious as there will be flash floods, damaging winds and lightning in some parts of the country.
The heavy rains are expected to prevail during the weekend and expected to have faded by Tuesday.
