ZESCO ENGINEERS ASKS SENIOR MANAGEMENT TO TELL THE NATION THE TRUTH, WARNS ABOUT A POSSIBLE COMPLETE BLACKOUT BY JULY
As earlier reported that Zesco is not importing power but merely preparing consumers for extended hours of loadshedding, information has emerged that Senior Engineers in the Corporation have challenged management to tell the nation the truth about the bleak power situation.
Zesco insiders say going by the current low water levels, the nation may go into a complete black out by July or August.
During a meeting in the national control centre on Saturday, control engineers asked their superiors to tell the nation the truth about the power situation.
This is after engineers were instructed to ensure they keep many areas off for longer hours than announced.
Zesco is under pressure to increase loadshedding hours between 12 hrs and 15hrs.

It’s a failed government. These are some of the outcomes of selective appointments and discrimination! Ulufyengo, Lesa tafwaya!
Manganga you are certainly a PF idiot always finding pleasure in demonizing the President even on natural calamity he has no control. You are a Devil iwe PF loser. Loadshedding has been caused by low rainfall in some parts of Zambia PF criminal iwe.
Dams are designed in such a way that both droughts & floods are taken care of. ZESCO should just bite the bullet & tell us what is causing those low water levels.
@Bob Tondolo. Walapena Mr Bob with your Hakainde. Kindly note that your Hakainde was exporting Electricity all over, even with the warning of El nino and associated drought warnings. He had entered into sales agreements with many countries, and now wants to declare a force Majeure over these agreements. Hakainde’s incompetence plus drought is a Total disaster.
Chill Mr Bob Tondolo, or else you will follow your friend, Bongobongo Brainless ,who is currently admitted to Chainama Mental Hospital….
Where there is no vision, people will perish!
60 + years of paying lip service to the need for serious investment in power generation capacity has come back to bite us!
The only way out for now is total darkness, maybe we may learn to be serious!
We have been hearing of MOUs signed by the great leader with “17 year old White kids” masquerading as Investors in Renewable energy..2500 MW, 1000MW, 1500 MW … Solar power, Wind power , etc ..The country is patient waiting for the actualisation of these!
The PF was on course regarding Investments in Power generation. The country doubled it’s generation potential from 2011, and is currently self self sufficient to meet our industrial and domestic local needs as at now..It’s therefore not true that there hasn’t been any vision for more generation plants for 60 years. This is a lie.
The rural Electrification Authority should however move from Distribution to Generation ( Hydro and other Renewables) especially using the northern and North Western parts of the country.
But if you put pressure on your water reservoirs and over generate so as to export Electricity , Just like the maize exports, even ignoring El nino warnings, like a frog in a well you will be hit harder when drought calls.
The starting point to dealing with our challenges is a decent, honest and sober conversation among ourselves, not insults. It’s infantile, Nawakwish and unhelpful.
