A wildfire just torched a primary school way out in the Matabeleland North area. The place is called Ziga Primary School, situated roughly 82 kilometers north of Tsholotsho District in the area under Chief Mathuphula. Damage is estimated at over twelve hundred bucks. A teacher named Hazel Masuku was sleeping in a school chalet when it happened, barely getting out alive.
Witnesses think a lightning strike might have kicked the whole thing off. The village head, Andrew Ncube, heard screaming and saw smoke. He and some stunned locals, including school committee members, ran to help. They could only grab a couple of things before the fire ate everything. Masuku said she heard a weird noise during the rain, went outside, and saw multi-colored flames on the roof. She lost all her clothes, food, and blankets.
The school head, Philani Masuku, confirmed the incident. He called it a strange fire that wrecked the chalet and a bunch of property. He is currently writing a report for the district officials about the whole situation.
