Five households from the Bilashaba area in Zvishavane have been destroyed by a veld fire, whose origins remain unknown.

Assistant District Development Coordinator for Zvishavane, Lucas Chinhara, said the government is mobilising resources to assist the affected families.

“We are trying to mobilise resources to assist the disturbed families,” he said.

Environmental Management Agency Zvishavane District Education and Publicity Officer, Sally Maguvu said, “We are continually losing land to veld fires, and it’s sad that families continue to be affected in the process, but various resources are being availed to cater for the disaster.”

According to the Environmental Management Agency, the Midlands province has lost over 25 000 hectares of land to veld fires during the 2023 fire season.
