JOHANNESBURG – The South African Weather Service warned on Friday that the tropical storm in Mozambique and Madagascar has now intensified to become a tropical cyclone.
The coast of Beira in Mozambique prepares for the arrival of Cyclone Eloise.

The weather service has issued a level 9 advisory for the weekend, warning of disruptive rains in the eastern parts of Mpumalanga and parts of Limpopo.
Forecaster Mbavhi Maliage said: “It is expected to be a tropical cyclone from now until tomorrow. So it is expected to moderate and be classified as a terrestrial depression, we hope it will continue to be a terrestrial depression when it begins to affect us on Sunday morning.
