An accountant with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education in Chipinge lost all his household property after his four-roomed cottage was razed by fire on Wednesday morning.
Maxwell Dumba of Kelvin suburb told <a href="https://www.manicapost.co.zw/new-fire-leaves-chipinge-family-homeless/">The Manica Post</a> that the fire started after he had left for work. He said:
<blockquote>
I left my home early in the morning to go to work as usual at Chipinge Government Complex. There was no electricity as a result of the ongoing power cuts. My wife was also not around.
While at work at around 8:30 AM, I received a call from my builders working on the main house, telling me that there was smoke coming from my cottage. Power had been restored.
I called the fire brigade which reacted swiftly, but they had a torrid time reaching my house as the shorter route is not accessible due to the poor road network.
They failed to cross a makeshift bridge on that road and had to use a longer route; otherwise, we could have managed to salvage something from the house.
</blockquote>
He said he was only left with the clothes he was wearing.
Dumba is now appealing for assistance from well-wishers. Those willing to assist can contact him on 0773221186.

Civil Servant Loses All Property In House Fire

The Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Monica Mutsvangwa, has mourned the death of Deputy Director in the International Communication Services Directorate, Millicent Dengwani.
Dangwani died on Friday, 27 May 2022 after she has been unwell for some time. She was 38 years old. Pindula News is publishing Mutsvangwa’s condolence message in full:
<blockquote>
<h2>CONDOLENCE MESSAGE ON THE PASSING ON OF MS MILLICENT DENGWANI, DEPUTY DIRECTOR INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION SERVICES</h2>
On behalf of the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, and on my own behalf, I wish to convey my heartfelt condolences to the Guranungo family on the sad passing on of Ms Millicent Dengwani, Deputy Director in the International Communication Services Directorate.
Ms Dengwani passed on this morning, the 27th of May 2022. She has been unwell for some time. She was 38 years old. Her husband and two children survive her.
Ms Dengwani started off as a District Information Officer in the Rural Communications Directorate in September 2010 and in February 2014 was reassigned to the International Communications Directorate, where she served with distinction as an Information Officer until February 2021.
On the 1st March 2021, she was promoted to the position of Deputy Director and served in that capacity until the time of her death.
She was instrumental in the development of background papers on bilateral and multilateral issues, most recently on Zimbabwe and Botswana. She was also an accomplished speechwriter and researcher.
Ms Degwani was also responsible for the facilitation of media and publicity requirements for State visits by foreign Heads of State and Government and accreditation of foreign journalists and had the ability to engage with international journalists from diverse backgrounds.
During her tenure, the quality of work from her directorate markedly improved, while turnaround time for assignments was reduced.
We draw solace from the fact that her distinguished service to the Ministry and country will be cherished for a long time to come.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to her husband and children who have lost a loving wife and mother.
May they find comfort in the knowledge that we join them in mourning during this difficult time. May her dear soul rest in eternal peace.
