Masvingo residents under the Communities in Action Platform (CAP) on Monday took to the streets in protest of power utility Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority’s (ZESA) worsening load-shedding.
Holding placards and headed to ZESA headquarters, protestors demanded that the government parastatal provide a clear plan on how it was working to solve their problem.
“The people of Masvingo are tired of living in darkness.
“These power cuts are not just an inconvenience, they are a threat to our livelihoods and well-being”, CAP highlited.
CAP urges ZESA to implement effective measures to stabilise the power grid and ensure consistent electricity supply to Masvingo residents.
“We call on the government to prioritise renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power as a sustainable solution to Zimbabwe’s energy woes.
In a statement, CAP bemoaned how unreliable power supply by ZESA was now affecting study and essential services delivery in the ancient town.
