Zimbabwe: Fire Breaks Out At Mnangagwa's Residence Days After Security Breaches

A fire broke out late Friday night at the home of President Emmerson Mnangagwa's son and Deputy Finance Minister David Kudakwashe.

This comes days after two separate break-ins were reported at the same property.

Police earlier on Friday said they had launched investigations into the security breaches that happened on June 23.

In the first incident, the intruder reportedly took documents, laptops and an iPad belonging to the Deputy Finance Minister before dumping them on the rooftop after police officers were called to survey the area.

In another incident, the intruder allegedly left cartridges outside his bedroom door and lawn.
