Fire destroys Bindura varsity students’ accommodation complex

Zim Now Writer

A fire of unknown origin nearly destroyed Chocolate Gate, a private accommodation complex for university students in Bindura, in Mashonaland Central Province, on Wednesday night.

The fire started in the gazebo area of the complex, according to property owner, one Nyuke. Although there was no electricity or fire in the gazebo, property worth millions of dollars was lost.

There were no casualties.

Chocolate Gate is a private student residence on Atherstone Road, just after Adult Millers, to the right on the way to Chipindura High School. It accommodates students from both Bindura University and Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is a reminder of the importance of fire safety measures in student housing.
