Six hundred Bulawayo residents last Friday got an opportunity to take representatives from the Ministry of Energy and Power Development and the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) to task over failure to ease the country’s energy woes and poor service delivery by the parastatal. Residents’ grievances that were expressed during a meeting organised by BPRA revolved around failure by the ministry to ensure electrification of suburbs like Emganwini and Cowdray Park. Residents also denounced load shedding and also questioned how their bills are inflating despite that electricity black outs are rampant across the city. They also queried the insurance scheme that ZESA claims reimburses residents for property damaged as a result of power inconsistencies. BPRA called the Ministry of Energy and Power Development to address residents’ concerns because ZESA has been taken to task on numerous occasions with no improvement being noted in service delivery. The association is embarking on a campaign termed “Power to the People” that will not stop until ZESA improves service delivery.
