fire caused by pure negligence by parastatal on private land.


With the recent fires north of Windhoek still fresh in our minds, a group of workers from Namwater allegedly cause a fire near Blumfelde close to Mariental. Although no animal losses or damage to infrastructure were reported almost a 1000 hectares valuable grazing were  destroyed. According to a neighboring farmer if the workers put safety measures into place when working with power tools the fire could have been prevented. 

all that is left after the fire.

looking at the camping chairs, making
me wonder did the workers camp or work,,or
did the supervisor sat, and when the fire
broke out jumped up and run away...
