Africa: Zimbabwe starts rolling power cuts, hitting mines, industry By Reuters reuters
The power cuts will add to mounting public anger against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government as Zimbabweans grapple with an economic crisis that has seen shortages of U.S. dollars, fuel, food and medicines as well as soaring inflation that is eroding earnings and savings.
“The power shortfall is being managed through load shedding in order to balance the power supply available and the demand,” ZETDC said in a public notice. Mining accounts for more than three-quarters of Zimbabwe’s export earnings and any power cuts in the sector will affect production and exports.
