The country has been experiencing ‘crippling’ power cuts as power generation at Kariba Power Station is expected to be reduced by over 36% to 475 megawatts (MW).
Zambia, which shares the Kariba dam with Zimbabwe, has not been spared from power cuts as the Zambian government urged mining companies, which consume a major portion of electricity to reduce their consumption.
The power utility company has resorted to increasing the load shedding schedule with some areas going for over 48 hours without power.
Netizens took to social media to air their views on the erratic power cuts and how they coped during power outages
