In yet another sad incident, a Zaka home belonging to Peter Mazuru was destroyed by fire on October 26, 2022 leaving the family with only one building as shelter.
Zaka North Ward 5 Councilor Livison Makwanye confirmed the incident and said the family was in need of assistance as most of their property was destroyed by fire.
“The house caught fire after a child disposed ash and wind came blowing the hot ash leading to the inferno,” said Makwanye.
The fire razzed down the entire place with only a one roomed building left.
Mazuru who is a gardener lost some gardening inputs which include 15 kg maize seed and 5 kg of cowpeas as well as a knapsack sprayer.
“The fire also destroyed 14 chickens, 19 turkeys, 50 kg of maize that was in the kitchen and 5 nests for laying chickens,” said Makwanye.
Household items in the kitchen and bathroom as well as clothing items that were on the washing line were not spared.
Those who wish to assist the family can get in touch with Peter Mazuru on 077 135 4354.
Recently a family from ward 24 in Zaka West lost their home to an inferno although the cause is yet to be established.
