JOHANNESBURG – Reports from Zimbabwe say Harare residents face a miserable
weekend without water, power, and in some cases, beer too.
Some suburbs are now going for 17 hours without power per day, just as the
cold weather is kicking in.The state-run ZESA power company recently
introduced massive load-shedding.Employers are now allowed to dock money
from their employees’ salaries, to make up for non-productive hours.Water
supply is erratic still, with Harare’s eastern suburbs reported to be
affected the worst.
And now, beer shortages have kicked in. Street vendors are cashing in
by buying all scarce stock available, so they can push up the price on the
black market.
