Power cuts will last between eight to ten hours during morning and evening peak periods, according to Distribution Company (ZETDC).
A Zimbabwean family plays card in Harare after the second power cut, which has hit most parts of the country.HARARE - Zimbabwe has started rolling power cuts lasting up to eight hours that will also hit mines, a schedule from the state power utility showed on Monday, after reduced output at both the largest hydro plant and ageing coal-fired generators.
"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.
