Residents query Zesa bills

Residents here have resolved to petition Zesa over the power utility’s faulty billing system.

Fungai Nkomo, chairman of the Umzingwane Ratepayers Association, told NewsDay on Monday the residents met at Habane Hall on Sunday where they unanimously agreed to petition the power utility to demand a reduction of tariff charges.

Nkomo said electricity in most houses in Esigodini was disconnected after residents incurred bills in excess of $4 000 while farmers in the area received bills of about $17 000 per month.
