A businessman and farmer from Beitbridge got burned trying to save documents when his house caught fire in the middle of the night at Tshapfutshe village. Joseph Ndou Kutiraya is recovering at Beitbridge District Hospital with upper-body burns after getting his wife and kids out safely, and he said he's grateful nobody died, even though the property damage hit hard. The blaze apparently started in the room where his main solar setup was installed and then torched the rest of the place.
Residents showed up to help fight the flames and keep them from spreading to other buildings. The guy used to run a travel business before switching over to agriculture full-time, and he supplies vegetables to shops around town. Doctors told him he's going to be fine, but the family is still tallying up what they lost.
