Zimbabwe has been given two months to pay its bills for power from South African power utility Eskom and Mozambique’s Hydro Cahora Bassa, HCB.
Zimbabwe imports at least 30% of its power and owes Eskom about R250-million and HCB about R126-million.
Julian Chinembiri, managing director of the ZimbabweElectricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) said this week that arrears were mounting.
