ZANU PF Has No Intention To Solve Electricity Crisis - Mahere
CCC spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere has said ZANU PF has no intention to solve the current electricity crisis in the country.
Zimbabweans are being forced to endure more than 18 hours a day without electricity after the country’s power utility, ZESA, cut power generation at Kariba Hydro Power Plant due to low dam levels.
A report by The Standard claims that at least 100 top government officials, including service chiefs, are having home solar energy systems installed at their homes at the taxpayers’ expense.
This is being done to cushion the “chefs” and their families from the inconveniences of rolling electricity outages.
Commenting on the report, Mahere said the arrangement shows that the ZANU PF government has no capacity to do anything progressive other than looting national resources. She said:

They looted funds meant to invest in alternative energy. They’re too incompetent to build power stations or maintain existing infrastructure.
They’ve plunged us into darkness now they expect us to pay for their solar systems. If you aren’t outraged, you’re not paying attention.
This response by ZANU PF tells us they have no intention to solve the ZESA crisis.
They’re buying themselves solar packs yet failing to solve the wider electricity problem.
We can’t have another 5 years of selfishness and incompetence.
ZANU PF continues to spit on the face of the people. The same bigwigs who were given a payout of US$500K a few weeks ago are now getting solar packs paid for by the taxpayer.
This is what happens when the Govt loots but cannot lead.
According to the report, which cited an unnamed government source, a local company has been contracted to install a 5 kilovolt (Kva) solar system at the home of each beneficiary.
Each kit is reportedly being procured at a cost of US$14 000 yet a full package of the 5 Kva solar system, which consists of accessories and labour, costs between US$3 000 and US$5 000.
The beneficiaries include ministers, senior government officials, commissioners, and army generals.
