Fire guts Pomona dumpsite

A FREAK fire broke out at Harare’s Pomona dumpsite on Monday, prompting Geo Pomona Waste Management (Geogenix BV) to blame “saboteurs” for torching the dumpsite to scuttle its controversial project.

In a statement yesterday, Geo Pomona Waste Management said: “The origins of the fire are yet to be established and investigations are underway to establish whether it was a natural fire or a product of saboteurs of the project. Indications, presently, point towards some deliberate scheme by some third hand as the fire erupted in various, but distant spots simultaneously.”
