Mzembi Says It's Madness To Blame Mugabe For Zimbabwe's Power Crisis

Self-exiled former Tourism Minister, Dr Walter Mzembi, has said it is madness for the ruling ZANU PF to blame the late former President Robert Mugabe for the current power crisis.

He made the remarks after ZANU PF spokesperson, Christopher Mutsvangwa claimed that the power crisis that the southern African country is facing is a product of years of neglect within Zimbabwe in particular. Mutsvangwa said:

The mismanagement, the arm-fisted mismanagement of the last two decades of Mugabe and his G40s obviously has a negative pull.

It is retarding the speed of recovery, but you can’t doubt that recovery is going on.

Mutsvangwa’s remarks attracted Mzembi’s wrath. He responded:

Zimbabwe is facing a huge power deficit that has seen ZESA, the local power utility, rolling out a crippling load-shedding schedule that left most parts of the country without power for at least 18 hours daily.

According to a power update by the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), a ZESA subsidiary, Zimbabwe is producing a total of 582MW against a peak demand of 2 200MW.
