By THE CITIZENMore by this AuthorDAR ES SALAAM,Business activities on Friday resumed in Mtwara and Lindi, Tanzania, after reports that tropical Cyclone Kenneth had changed direction. Weather forecasters had spotted Kenneth advancing towards the coast of southern Tanzania and northern Mozambique. As such, authorities in Tanzania had ordered schools and businesses shut in some southern regions and urged people to brace for extreme winds and rain. The Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) had said the cyclone would hit the two areas so residents prepared, with some leaving their homes. Category three Cyclone Kenneth, packing winds of 160 kilometres an hour, struck the north coast’s Cabo Delgado province late Thursday after swiping the Comoros islands.
