Six more people have drowned in flooded rivers in Zimbabwe, bringing the death toll from record heavy rains this month to 27, DPA quoted reports as saying Saturday. Four of the dead were employees of the state-run ZESA electricity company who were travelling in a company lorry that was swept away as the driver tried to cross the flooded Tiriri River in Chivi, southern Zimbabwe. The workers had gone to Chivi to repair power lines damaged by the storms. The names of the dead have not been released.
