When The Herald visited the complex on Tuesday scores of stall owners were milling around and cleaning the charred remains of their property.
A carpenter, Mr Mike Mamvura, said the furniture and equipment he lost were not insured.
“I did not have insurance and I don’t have a way of recovering what I lost,” he said. “Some customers paid deposits for the furniture that was burnt and I am not sure on how I will repay them. I also lost a compressor worth more than US$2 000 and I had invested all my resources to buy it.”
Norman Dakara, a worker at one of the stalls, said he was now jobless following the fire that ravaged his employer’s stand.
“My family was relying on me, but right now it looks like we are dumped in the middle of the desert. I don’t know how I am going to pay school fees for my children,” he said.
