A building block which consists of 8 classrooms, a science laboratory and a School Development Association (SDA) office was destroyed by the fire. Pupils who arrived in the morning were shocked to find their school in flames.

The only people seen trying to douse the fire using buckets and hosepipes were the two remaining white farmers De Klerk and Campbell with the help of their workers after being told there was no fire brigade in Chivhu.

We have since received a picture of the broken down fire brigade truck that is meant be servicing Chivhu. For a country said to have billions of dollars’ worth of diamonds this picture tells a story of how this regime is looting resources for personal gain.
