Here is something that supports Polyglot and Arnold's understanding of the sentence... Though the year does not match, I suppose it is a recurring phenomenon. "In lowland areas of Tete, Manica, Sofala and Zambezia provinces in particular, heavy flooding of the Zambezi, Buzi and Pungue Rivers, caused by high rainfall both locally and upstream in Malawi, destroyed an estimated 102 830 ha of crops." http://www.fao.org/docrep/004/w5245e/w5245e00.htm
