In January 2013, the Limpopo River which runs through the heart of Chokwé District, burst its banks after weeks of heavy rain.  By 20th February, the river covered the basin up to 6 miles either side of its banks. 150,000 people were displaced and the government declared a red alert, mobilising resources to carry out search and rescue operations for missing people. Damage to homes, agricultural land, roads, healthcare centres and electricity infrastructure affected 300,000 people.
