I am not happy, i bought some electricity as an emergency and the token did not come instantly as expected
I have just bought and have also not recieved my zesa token, how long did it take eventually to get your zesa token.
I appreciated the response that electricity tokens paid online should exceed US$50. However, the organisation may need to revise this requirement because there are Zesa’s clients who are comfortable of paying less than US$50 but more than US$30. It makes a great difference.
please may i know how many units i get if i have 60usd
US$60 is about ZW$273,369.6 and that will get you about 430.87kWh.
They will convert your USD to ZW$ using the interbank rate. So in future, just calculate how much your USD is worth in ZW$ using the prevailing interbank rate and then input the ZW$ amount in the calculator below:

Why did I get 191.3kwh instead of the 244.14kwh shown by the calculator, even if I use the tariffs its above 200kwh. I haven’t bought any electricity this month. Is econet engaging in ZESA fraud?
