Details:
On Monday (16th) the afternoon temperature in Mutare reached a scorching 39 degrees centigrade with the Sun shining through so much heat haze that it was fiery orange while still fairly high in the sky (first picture). From 5 pm onwards it quickly turned red and then magenta (second picture) as it entered a rapidly thickening layer of smoke haze. As it continued to descend it passed behind some broken cloud which for a few moments made it look like a stern magenta Emoji! (third picture). In the last composite image the Sun, now completely magneta due to thick smoke haze, goes down behind some narrow bands of cloud and then fades from view as it reaches the horizon. The photographs were taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 camera in sunset scene mode and up to x60 zoom magnification.
