Killed by lightning strikes and crocodile attack

At least seven people have been killed and more than 230 buildings damaged following heavy rains in Mozambique's western Tete province, officials have said.

Four people died in lightning strikes, and one each from an attack by a crocodile, from being washed away by flood waters, and from being crushed after a wall collapsed, officials added.

A total of 228 homes and four churches were damaged in the floods.
