Own Correspondent|Goods worth millions of dollars were destroyed when a shopping mall housing small shops at the corner of Robert Mugabe road and Chinhoyi street in Harare caught fire early Thursday morning.

Harare fire brigade Assistant Divisional Officer, Mr Philip Marufu said they are yet to establish the cause of the fire.

Police national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident.

“Our teams are on the ground carrying out investigations to ascertain the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage,” he said.

Marufu said they could not ascertain the cause of the fire.

“We cannot really determine the cause of fire due to the extensive damage to both the contents and the building, but due to experience, you can tell by the way the fire spreads, it could have been bottled in the building for quite a long time before it was reported,” he said.

Scores of traders were left counting their losses.
