The southern African nation has endured 18-hour daily power cuts since May as a result of a prolonged drought that has reduced output at its largest hydro plant and ageing coal-fired generators that keep breaking down.
Foreign power companies also stopped supplying Zimbabwe with electricity in 2017 after the country failed to pay its bills, although Zimbabwe resumed limited imports of 300 MW a month last week. George Guvamatanga, secretary for the ministry of finance, told business leaders in Harare that Zimbabwe had agreed to make weekly payments to clear its debt to a regional power utility, which would start providing at least 400 MW of electricity a month, starting from this week.Guvamatanga did not name the supplier. Zimbabwe typically buys electricity from South Africa's Eskom and Hydro Cahora Bassa of Mozambique.
I would die
Yeah, a drought of supplying money to Eskom for megawatts supplied. Some idiot wrote this story and obviously believed it and thought it would make a good story and we would fall for it.... Really!!!
Please rams ave is these lies. This had nothing to do with drought but mismanagement and corruption . We have coal power stations they have nothing to do with drought
