By Own Correspondent- Property worth thousands of dollars were reduced to ashes Tuesday morning when a state warehouse caught fire at Beitbridge Border Post.

The fire, whose cause is unknown broke out between 6 and 7 am.

Fire tenders from the local municipality and Noic had been summoned on site.

The warehouse on the export side becomes a fourth in a few years to go up in smoke. In 2016 another warehouse on the import side went up in flames destroying property worth millions. The fire was attributed to an electrical fault.
