HARARE – The Magaba Complex in Mbare has been reduced to ashes after a “massive inferno” broke out just after midnight, the Harare City Council has confirmed.
“Three fire tenders have been deployed to fight the fire. To avoid a situation where our fire tenders have to be driven back to the fire station to fetch more water, the Emergency Help Group provided tankers of water.” the Council said.
