If that were to happen, ZESA will have to intensify load shedding. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

The current situation resulted from one of the worst droughts in living memory, induced by the El Nino phenomenon. The Daily News was told that water levels have now fallen to only 24 per cent. Energy and Power Development Minister, Fortune Chasi confirmed the developments at Lake Kariba. He said: > Generally, the power supply will be affected and that means we will have to rely on imports, but we need to increase investment in the power industry as a long term solution. > We also need to conserve power and aggressively invest in the industry to safeguard the future. Failure to invest in the energy sector over the years has resulted in debilitating power cuts which have grounded industry close to a halt. The country’s power utility is also heavily indebted to neighbouring countries, that is, Eskom of South Africa which is owed US$27 million while Hydroelectrica de Cahora Bassa (HCB) of Mozambique is owed US$4O million. As a result, Zimbabwe has been unable to import significant amounts of electricity. *More: Daily News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
