    This is absolutely disgusting! More businesses will close, more people will go hungry…
    Where is zera in all this and where are the protests from the likes of zctu etc.

      It is actually ZERA which approved the tariff increases!

    There seems to be some confusion somewhere, as usual…

    Firstly, are those charges per KWh? And
    secondly, what happened to the subsidised 200KWh @ ±ZW$50 bundle for prepaid users???
