Continuous heavy rainfall over the past five days has led to a devastating series of house collapses in the Msongwe area of Mzuzu. Nearly 15 houses have been affected, with two incidents involving homes falling on occupants. Fortunately, in both cases, no injuries were reported, despite the alarming nature of the incidents.
