In a very depressing incident, a 14-year-old boy from Masvingo died after a fire emanated from a pot which had boiling cooking oil.
This was confirmed by national policing authorities this Monday.
According to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), two other female adults sustained severe burns in the fatal incident which occurred on the 24th of January, 2025, in Rujeko township.
It is further reported that the fire degenerated into an inferno after one of the victims added onions onto the boiling pot.
