Fire guts part of Sunbird KuChawe Inn
Fire has shattered part of KuChawe Inn, a subsidiary of Sunbird Hotels, in the former capital Zomba and has affected mostly the kitchen.
KuChawe Inn manager, Sylvester Mtambo, confirmed that the fire began around 1 am and could not say what caused it.
“So far I can say everything in the kitchen has been destroyed,” said Mtambo.
Nyasa Times learnt that fire fighters from the commercial capital in Blantyre were ones that assisted in putting out the fire after the Zomba fire brigade failed to do so.
Zomba City Fire Officer, Rogers Chiendausiku, admitted his team failing saying most of their equipment could not function.
“Our fire vehicles developed faults, and so we had to invite our colleagues from Blantyre,” said Chiendausiku.

Fake DPP government.
Very sorry. That’s an asset for Malawi and our pride. If not already happening, let’s orient staff to firefighting and fire drills.
BT is 45 min away!! And ku chawe is hilly! OMG what did the fire come to do hours later lol investigate cause of fire lol
but we the the council employees swimming in monies ngati Accountant wawo changing vehicles ngati zobvala and you are saying no fire fighting machines koma umbava winawu eish
The fire engine had to come from Blantyre. The one in the City of Zomba doesnt work. Yet the DPP government is more interested in promising useless stadiums.
Yes. More useless…
And you call Zomba a city when the Council can not even have fire fighting equipment. Ministry of Local Government under Nankhumwa. All he knows is kudya ndalama za ma council. No wonder a purofesa sanakupatse u laningment
When did they realised that the fire engine was not functioning? This a must have for the Zomba City and nor Firtuna’s for the mayor and CEO
And we call Zomba a city? with no functional fire fighting equipments, and someone says we are developed like other countries…eish!
