Load Shedding Will Soon Be A Thing Of The Past: ZETDC Official
2 years agoFri, 10 Feb 2023 14:16:39 GMT
The load shedding being experienced in Zimbabwe will soon be a thing of the past, as ZETDC promises improved supply by June, the power utility company’s Marketing Executive Lot Maziriri has said.
The country has been experiencing increased levels of load shedding due to the suspension of electricity generation at its main hydro plant at Kariba, because of water shortages.
But speaking at the Consumer Education and Awareness Outreach Program on safe use of energy products in Dzivaresekwa today, Maziriri assured the nation that by June, there will be an improvement in the supply of electricity. He said:
If we add 300 megawatts to the 1200 megawatts currently available, we will have 1500. Then, the problem will be less.
If we add 300 more, there will be surplus. This surplus will be coming before June. So the electricity problem is going to be fixed soon. It’s just a phase, which will pass soon.
There was a time when we were asking ourselves how come we were no longer experiencing power cuts, we will have that scenario again. We are fixing the problem.
Maziriri admitted that electricity being paid in local currency affects the purchasing of equipment from outside Zimbabwe, saying ZETDC even took a US dollar loan to buy vehicles. He said:
ZETDC took a loan to purchase vehicles from outside the country. We are not able to purchase electricity from outside due to lack of foreign currency.
But in a few weeks, supply will definitely improve, just give us a few weeks.

Dont be misled, do something that gives you a modest lifestyle and a decent living.
I urge you to believe in yourselves, politics is a drop in an ocean but you are an ocean in a drop.

"By June" why not now? This is a campaign strategy. When general elections are near these guys give us a lot of false promises. Zanu has compeletely failed. Don't be fooled again guys. Vote wisely, taneta nazvo izvi.

His statement is inclusive of any eventualities during the period stated
Vesto · 2 years ago
@Vhedza we are neither morons nor imbeciles. What eventualities are included in this statement which is as dry as a stick of biltong?
And the June timeframe mentioned doesn't make sense in light of previous promises of improvement by January 2023 which has come and gone without an iota of improvement.
please don't just waffle

Installed capacity maybe 1,200MW, but current generation is slightly above 300MW.
This propaganda guru, thankfully prefaced all his statements with "if". That says it all. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
He unfortunately doesn't explain where the proposed 300MW are coming from, especially as perennial supporters, Eskom are reeling under their own generation shortages.
As we get into election mode, let ZESA not cry louder than the bereaved ZANU. I foresee some people waving their cushy jobs goodbye
Führer · 2 years ago
Maxwero maxwero I wonder what deludes you to ever think that Zanu of is bereaved, yes the Zesa guys need to be booted out but to fathom that the party is in a bereavement is utter madness.

You may have changed your nom de guerre, but your insistence on calling me Maxwell Manyengavana persists.
For the umpteenth time this Machiavelli is NOT Maxwell Manyengavana of Twitter.

@Fuhrer you have just insulted Machiavelli without attempting to refute what he said. Shall we assume that he has correctly ruffled your feathers?
