A fire erupted late last night at the residence of David Kudakwashe Mnangagwa, the son of President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the deputy finance minister of Zimbabwe. The blaze, which occurred at the property located on Mt Camel Road in Borrowdale, caused significant damage before being brought under control by emergency services. However, the fire reignited this morning, prompting a renewed response from firefighters.

The incident has raised concerns as it comes just days after the police reported two separate break-ins at the same residence.

The nature and cause of these break-ins remain unclear, but they have prompted a thorough investigation by local law enforcement. Authorities are now exploring whether there might be a connection between these burglaries and the fire.

In a statement, David Kudakwashe Mnangagwa expressed his gratitude to the emergency services for their swift response and the support from the community.

He also reassured the public that his family is safe and unharmed. The deputy finance minister emphasized the need for a comprehensive investigation to determine the cause of the fire and to ensure the security of his home.
