On Monday, a truck carried black tea from Malawi to [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/tags/south-africa/']South Africa[/URL]. The truck had 24,000 kg of tea, worth $83,520. The truck caught fire near Featherstone, burning all the tea until it was just ashes.

The fire started when the truck was on the [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/tags/zimbabwe/']Harare-Masvingo[/URL] highway at the 89 km marker. The driver's name was Chakola Francis. He was 45 years old.

Francis saw smoke coming from the truck. He stopped to see what was happening. He found out that the trailer part of the truck was on fire. The front part of the truck was only slightly damaged.

There were 400 bags of tea on the trailer. Each bag weighed 60 kg. Francis separated the front part of the truck from the trailer. But he couldn't save the tea. It all burned up. The back wheels of the car burned, too.

Francis told the police in Chivhu and Featherstone. They made a report about what happened. The truck belonged to a company in Malawi called T. C. P. Logistics.
