Fire gutted a 12-roomed farmhouse in Headlands belonging to Zanu PF national youth leader, Kudzai Chipanga.
That was on Wednesday.
Chipanga confirmed the incident yesterday, but ruled out foul play.
"Yes, I lost a 12-roomed house. The house was razed down by fire and we suspect an electrical fault to have caused the fire" he said..
He said he lost household goods worth almost $15 000.
However, Zanu PF Manicaland provincial youth chairperson, Mubuso Chinguno said the incident is politically motivated, NewsDay reported.
"When he was given that farm, some politburo members and a minister from Makoni were against the idea.
"There was a time when even some senior officials incited villagers to demonstrate against Chipanga over the farm. We are not going to be intimidated, as we carry out our own independent investigations into the incident".
