Floods have swept bodies from a cemetery on the banks of the Umbeluze river near the Mozambican capital, Maputo, into nearby residences and across farms.
Television images showed the devastation caused by the raging waters that flooded many neighborhoods in the Boane district, about 25 kilometers southwest of the capital, and elsewhere.
According to reports, the dispersed bodies are endangering public health.
The corpses were collected over the weekend by members of the community.
The affected cemetery is over three decades old and contains numerous unidentified graves.
Tropical Cyclone Freddy made landfall in the country on Friday, causing widespread flooding.
