- ZESA engages stakeholders on electricity challenges in the country
The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) has begun a stakeholder engagement exercise to improve power supply and distribution in the country. The utility announced power cuts last week due to construction works on Kariba Dam.
Dr George Manyaya, Zesa’s general manager, Stakeholder Relations Communications and Welfare, noted that the engagement was meant to hear challenges people face in various communities. “We have intensified our stakeholder engagement efforts, and we are moving around the country meeting all clients to appreciate your challenges and discuss other issues.”
According to The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) Commercial Director, Engineer Ralph Katsande, procurement of required material for work was critical for enhancing service delivery.
The Hurungwe East legislator, Cde Ngoni Masenda, applauded Zesa for the initiative stating that power cuts harm the country’s economic growth, hence the need to address it.
The engagement is being attended by various stakeholders from the business community, consumer representatives, and others.
