Twenty-three families were left homeless after a hailstorm recently hit the Pote community in Hurungwe east.

Hurungwe east legislator Honourable Ngoni Masenda has since appealed for interventions in the form of temporary shelter as the families are in dire need of dwellings in which to sleep.

He said the main reason for the collapse of most of the buildings in Pote area village 22 was poor workmanship as mud was used as mortar during construction.

This comes barely a month after Cyclone Idai induced storms killed hundreds of people in Manicaland and left a trail of destruction.
