"Our houses are full of water, we don't have anywhere to sleep.
"Our barn went with the rain, we have no food. People are being dragged with the water, there are a lot of houses in Caful, all are down with the water, there is no boat that can rescue those people, we are asking for help with helicopters or boats", pleaded Lurdes Simão Dove, a flood victim rescued from Boane district.
Rescue crews have been sent to the affected areas.
Many homes were destroyed as a result of the heavy rainfall.
"From yesterday to today we rescued more than one hundred people and today we expect to rescue more than 300 people", added Adolfo Mate, First Secretary from Boane district.
More flooding is forecast in Maputo Province as water from flooded rivers in South Africa and Eswatini flows downstream.
