MZANSI is dealing with many challenges, especially service delivery and access to basic needs.
Such challenges include water crises, high food prices, load shedding and other needs that citizens can't access.
Well, another curse has been put on the shoulders of South Africans to deal with, and it has repeatedly given rise to take Mzansi backwards and even claim lives.
This problem has seen a rise in infrastructure damage, loss of lives and even loss of livelihoods. While others say such is caused by sabotage, some say it could be something that South Africans are ignoring. What could that be?
The never-ending fire incidents are striking in so many parts of the country, leaving so many disbelieving as they lose all they have in the blink of an eye with little explanation accompanying such happenings.
These fires have targeted government buildings, hijacked buildings and shacks, and even claimed livestock and soldiers’ lives. Could these unexplainable fires require or seek divine intervention as they are unexplainable?

It all started with government buildings in Gauteng, precisely in the Jobug CBD, where buildings, including hijacked ones, caught fire weekly. People at the first building that caught fire two months ago died. More than 70 of them, and close to half of them remain unidentified.
In another shocking incident, more than 300 shacks caught fire at Plastic View in Mamelodi, Tshwane in September, where more than four people died.
Well, informal settlements in Mzansi catch fire almost every day.
Just last Friday, 6 October, a wildfire raged at the SA Army's Combat Training Centre in the Northern Cape, killing six soldiers and injuring several others.
Also in Richards Bay, KZN, the wildfire was still alive on its 7th day after it started at one of the company's conveyor belts, used to store wood chips, on 30 September. While firefighters were trying to put it out, strong winds started blowing, and the fire spread and jumped from one stockpile to another.
These fires that hit slightly during the same period have been a concern to the Mzansi people.
It remains a puzzle why so many informal settlements, government buildings and hectares of land are lost at once due to fire. Moreover, the lives of people and livestock are lost.
