Zambia endures 20+ hour power cuts as Lake Kariba's water levels drop, impacting electricity supply
Zambia is going through one of its worst droughts in decades.
Low water levels at Lake Kariba mean the country can’t produce enough electricity.
The country’s Energy ministry says the power plant it feeds could shut down within weeks.
Neighbouring Zimbabwe is also in trouble.

It's not 20 hours of loadshedding. It's actually 6 days of loadshedding, power comes after 6 days and only lasts for 3 hours .
I just came here to allude to the fact that we're now experiencing more that 350 hours of total blackouts
the student's uniform seems better suited for a cold country ……
Build coal power plants. F global warming.
Zambian we are not fools you close the source so that we buy solars from china
They are only showing the good schools in zambia they should show the real situation of what's happening in zambia
The Kariba dam was meant for a small population then and not for the tenfold increase in populations niw plus the industrial expansion.We have enough water to have a power station in each Province and its what government need to start investing in.
We have felt the negative impact of load shedding in all aspects of life.
We just day, Paipa Pano
It’s now three days without water
So a whole 60 years after independence a whole country relies on one dam for electricity
Have y'all ever noticed that Aljarzerra almost always has only negative newz for the Southern African region. They almost never show the good stuff, it's like they work for the West 🤔😶
This is no longer load shedding
still dont understand why Zesco didnt see this coming after we experienced the first loadshedding. The question i guess is, do they conduct future planning sessions as a team?
Yangu tata twasebana. Mukanyeni uyo elalandapo we are still exporting🤧
Bwafya" mavuto yeka yeka..🥺
You know its definitely out of control when its even on AlJazeera.😢
We are now living like animals 😢
It's very sad 💔
And the funny thing is, even after 20 years, we will still be experiencing this same problem
Zimbabwe and Zambia presidents are busy pushing Russian and USA agendas instead of uniting to alleviate poverty and foster regional development + security. They are concerned about bringing war to the ever peaceful region.
this is sheet
guys this is nothing but poor management in the country
Be serious
God help our mother Zambia 🇿🇲
4 days no power
We only have power for 6 hours per week
Power goes for more than 3days here in Zambia
Its nit only drought but rehabilitation of the dam
We are just foolish and our foolishness is evident.
