The National Railways of Zimbabwe has condemned a string of mysterious fire outbreaks that have ravaged its facilities this week, vowing to bring the perpetrators to justice.
This comes after the company experienced a spate of fire outbreaks at its premises during the week, which appear to be coordinated arson attacks.
In a statement, NRZ said they strongly suspect that these incidences were a result of foul play.
“The NRZ and the Zimbabwe Republic Police have since opened investigations into the matter and no stone will be left unturned,” it said.
“We would want to warn the saboteurs that the long arm of the law will catch up with them.”
The first fire broke out on Monday at the NRZ mechanical workshops in Bulawayo, destroying 44 decommissioned passenger coaches.
The second incident took place on Wednesday at the shunters complex in Harare where three coaches were torched.
