ZESA has explained the reasons behind power outages that Zimbabweans experienced over the last week.
The power cuts have been mainly caused by a technical fault at Kariba and Hwange Power station according to ZESA Holdings acting group stakeholder relations manager Ms Prisca Utete.
She also said the situation had been compounded by the unavailability of normal import levels due to constraints in the region.

Hwange unit 5 has been out and works are at an advanced stage to recover it, while Unit 2 developed tube leaks and repairs are almost complete with expectations of bringing it back as soon as possible, hence minimising the demand supply mismatch. Unit 8 is out of service due to a technical fault at Kariba power station, which is currently operating with seven units. Efforts are underway to restore this unit.
