There will not be any at all compensation for victims of the Beitridge fire which gutted a warehouse at the border post destroying property worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
People who lost their belongings which were held by the customs department will have to forget it since the goods were not insured, a ZIMRA official told ZimEye.
While the cause of the fire to date is not yet known, forensic experts were yesterday Saturday still scraping for clues albeit with limited resources.
Nothing was left in shape in the Thursday fire after firefighting equipment had to be borrowed from across the border to stop the inferno which took more than five hours to put out.
Goods housed in the warehouse consist of those either routinely confiscated at Beitbridge whenever people fail to pay duty for them, or posted cargo in transit to or from South Africa.
