Unknown arsonists destroyed former Norton legislator Temba Mliswa's rural homestead in Shurugwi on Wednesday, causing damage exceeding $120,000. Mliswa attributed the attack to his anti-corruption efforts within Zanu PF and characterized the incident as evidence of intensifying succession disputes surrounding President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The fire consumed a residential hut that served as Mliswa's bedroom after witnesses reported hearing a vehicle pass approximately 30 minutes before discovering the flames.
The attack follows Mliswa's recent accusations that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga undermined Mnangagwa through corruption investigations with political motivations. Mliswa declared the arson would not deter his activism despite the property loss. The Zimbabwe Republic Police have not released an official statement regarding the investigation into the suspected arson at the Shurugwi property.
