The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) has launched a nationwide power network rehabilitation programme to address widespread outages caused by theft, vandalism, and damage from the recent rainy season.
The extensive repair and restoration effort, which began in March and will run through to November 2025, is focused on replacing fallen electricity poles, fixing infrastructure damaged by criminal activity, and resolving residual issues linked to severe weather.
Several districts across the country have been left without a reliable electricity supply, prompting the urgent intervention.
To fast-track the rehabilitation process, ZETDC has deployed additional teams and resources to affected areas, with the goal of improving power stability and restoring consistent service to impacted communities.
In a statement, ZETDC apologised for the ongoing inconveniences and reassured the public that it is working diligently to restore power as swiftly as possible.
The utility also urged residents to remain vigilant and report any acts of vandalism, which continue to pose a serious threat to the integrity of the national electricity grid.
