AT least 300 people in and around Kadoma were affected by a violent storm this week, the Civil Protection Unit (CPU) has reported.

In a report seen by The Herald this morning, the CPU said 200 tents were needed to shelter the affected families.

The report also said that the affected families needed at least five tonnes of maize and other food items.

However, the CPU is yet to give the total value of the damaged properties.

The storm destroyed classroom blocks in the town.
