Intense tropical cyclone Emnati made landfall in Madagascar on Wednesday, at wind speeds of 100km/h, gusting 140km/h.

This comes just two weeks after the small island nation was battered by cyclone Batsirai.

On making landfall, it moved southwest at 31km/h.

It was expected to cross the Anosy region and come to sea near the Androy region by the end of yesterday.

Communities in Vatovavy, Fitovinany, Amoron’i Mania and Matsiatra Ambony were warned to remain vigilant.

Emnati made landfall in roughly the same area that Batsirai did, and is expected to follow a similar course.

According to the SA Weather Service (SAWS), Emnati is not expected to reach South Africa.

A South African now living in Madagascar, Roelof Camminga, captured this video when Emnati made landfall.
