Cyclone Funso Mostly misses Mozambique

Funso_27_Jan_moving_s_of_Mada

After bringing some heavy rain,  high winds and rough seas, all forecasts now expect Funso to track SSE and dissipate south of Madagascar.  However Funso is presently almost stationary east of Maputo about halfway between Mozambique and Madagascar and is still a small threat to southern Africa's coastline.

This just off Radio de Mocambique: (translated from Portuguese by me so can't swear by it)
After three days of interruption, vehicles started moving across the repaired break in the E.N1 at 3 de Fevereiro, this morning (24 Jan). Hundreds of vehicles have already been able to continue with their journeys. 39 trucks dumped three thousand cubic metres of rock to create a temporary causeway that will have to eventually be replaced with a proper viaduct.

And here is the "BUT" bit:

GIRIYONDO BORDER HAS REOPENED. Difficult to say. I have no news on the bridge at Chokwe and the Causeway over the Massingir dam, so perhaps that is good news. Giriyondo is definately open so perhaps that is a good indication that Massingir and chokwe are accessible from Giri. The Limpopo...
