Chiaquelane

Eastern Africa

Chiaquelane is a village and camp for people displaced by flooding, about 30 kilometres from the city of Chókwè in Gaza Province. It was created after the severe floods of 1977 and 1978, when the government gave the affected people plots and fields to encourage them to stay on higher ground. When the Limpopo flooded Chókwè in 2013 the village again took in displaced families. Wikipedia gives coordinates for Chiaquelane that fall at about 24.81 degrees south and 33.13 degrees east. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model reads about 42 metres above sea level at that point. Like the rest of Mozambique, Chiaquelane keeps Central Africa Time, which is two hours ahead of UTC all year.
