Harare businessman Phillip Chiyangwa who is still in hospital for treatment despite coming out of theatre Saturday has communicated that the mystery to the fire that could have taken his life has been solved.
Many rushed to create and circulate bizarre speculative claims that the fire which began in Chiyangwa’s bedroom was of juju origins saying a witchcraft snake caused it, and one message read in part: “ZANUPF Phillip Chiyangwa’s money snake spit fire instead of money and burnt his mansion….”
But Mr Chiyangwa’s assistant told ZimEye.com the causes of the fire are now fully known. Ruling out foul play, he said “there was a conflict of connections between air cons and the lighting wires triggering an electric fault.”
Meanwhile Mr Chiyangwa has not fully recovered from injuries inflicted from the inferno that blazed a large part of of his mansion last Thursday morning. Chiyangwa who came out of theatre on Saturday is stuck in hospital until possibly tomorrow Tuesday when he might be released.
His PA also told ZimEye.com, ” He is at the hospital”,
“He is out tomorrow”, he said.
