massive fire has reportedly engulfed Saviour Kasukuwere’s citrus plantation at Concorpia Farm, located in Mazowe. The fire, which has caused extensive damage, comes amidst ongoing legal efforts to remove an invader from the property.
Despite a High Court order, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has reportedly refused to enforce the eviction, raising questions about the enforcement of the country’s laws.
According to Kasukuwere, the motive behind this arson attack is yet to be ascertained. Taking to X Kasukuwere wrote:

I am sure it's a case of poor upkeep, citrus plantation should always be evergreen and not susceptible to fires, the problem comes when grass is allowed to overgrow in-between the trees and when those grasses dry it posses a fire risk, just like the veld firesSaviour Kasukuwere’s Mazowe citrus plantation destroyed
