A popular business center for vendors, Mbare Musika, was engulfed in flames yesterday evening. The showground, located in Mbare, Harare, became the scene of devastation as the fire spread rapidly through the area.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, leaving the public speculating about the events that led to the blaze. Despite the swift response from the Fire Brigade, who managed to contain the fire, flames continue to smolder within the destroyed stalls. The aftermath has left heartbroken vendors in tears, with some fainting from the shock of losing their livelihoods.
In a stroke of luck, the fruits and vegetable section of the market remains intact. Potato sellers have already resumed business, although the lingering smoke has resulted in decreased foot traffic.
As the community awaits further details, the resilience of the vendors and the efforts to rebuild are a testament to the spirit of Mbare Musika.
