Reports indicate that a reaction team of Zimbabwe Electricity Distribution Company’s (ZETDC) dispatched to correct the failure on the High Voltage Transmission lines connecting the border town and Bulawayo was stung by bees, at Khami Bridge area forcing them to retreat. ---------- itel A70 256GB $99USD WhatsApp: https://wa.me/+263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- The situation forced Plumtree ZETDC area manager Victor Ndawana to summon the Civil Protection Unit (CPU) to assist. Said Ndawana: > We lost power from Bulawayo at 1 am and efforts are underway to rectify the problem. > It is with regret that works on conductor replacement, due to copper theft close to Khami River, will not be finished today. > The cause being that other tubular steel poles had aggressive bees inside them. Pest control teams were engaged and are working to contain the bees. ZESA recently announced that electricity consumers should brace for load shedding as power generation at the country’s power plants is depressed due to low water levels at Kariba and ageing equipment at Hwange and other smaller thermal power plants. *Related:* *ZESA Warns Of Possible Power Cuts Due To Low Generation At Kariba & Hwange* *BREAKING: New Massive Load Shedding Scheduled.
