I heard the midwives say that they could not see properly, so they had to use torches as additional light sources.

Earlier this year, the country’s power utility, the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA), introduced 18-hour load-shedding following reduced electricity generation at Kariba Hydro Power Station and a shortage of foreign currency to import from neighbouring countries. Power cuts become a threat to women when they experience complicated pregnancy and childbirth which require electricity for the resuscitation of the baby, warmth from radiant heaters, lights and operative delivery. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
