WATCH: Tropical storm, Dineo's path of destruction

Photos and videos of the ex-cyclone were posted on social media showing the magnitude of the storm as well as the destruction it left in its wake.

Power lines, trees and sheets of corrugated iron were strewn across roads while lodges along the coastline have been flooded.

The government of Mozambique has indicated that once the storm has passed, they will do a damage assessment and offer aid to those affected by the storm.
