Zimbabwe’s ruling Zanu-PF party has blamed former long-time leader Robert Mugabe for the country’s severe power outages.
According to reports, the Zimbabweans have been put on an energy hold for about 18 hours every day.
While the crises even worsened following shortage in water levels at Kariba South Power Station, the Zanu-PF spokesman said the country was now grappling with the effects of the previous administration’s “neglect” to invest in power generation over the years.
“The economic management of the last two decades of Mugabe is retarding the speed of recovery; but you can’t doubt that there’s a recovery which is going on,” Chris Mutsvangwa told South African broadcaster eNCA.
The party has been in power since 1980 when the country gained independence from Britain.
