Another Market Gutted By Fire and Kasukuwere Blamed

In what is believed to be government cruelty, another market was yesterday burnt down. Kudzanayi Market in Gweru saw traders there left counting massive losses after fire gutted their goods worth thousands of dollars early Friday morning.

Several vendors were left in tears after their stalls were gutted by fire. When the State Media visited the market in the morning many traders could be seen salvaging the remains of their wares while others could be seen trying to rebuild their stalls.

Another Market Gutted By Fire and Kasukuwere Blamed

Some vendors said they have made a huge loss and they are not sure what could have caused the fire. They however said they blame their security guards for failing to protect their goods.

The incident comes a few days after a home industry complex in Glen View’s Area 8 in Harare was gutted by fire destroying the entrepreneurs’ property.

Kudzanayi Market houses more than one thousand traders.

Local Government Minister Saviour Kasukuwere has been blamed for the destructive incidents which came soon after his ministry ordered vendors off the cities.
