It's worse in Zambia 🇿🇲, we are now going for 5 days without power
Anyway the current government over used power in the name of getting popularity by end the loadshadding. They should have continued with the loadshadding program the previous government left.
Why are you showing pictures of villagers as if Zambia look like that? Capture the urban area
The impact in Lusaka, capital city is huge not only loadshedding but the economy keeps on descending mostly business h've been shut down🥺. They is also lack of mealie meal, Zambian main stable food farmers are out of words .The nation is going through a rough tym 😑 Citizens are starving..
Pray for Zambia 🥺🙏
The depiction though 🤦🏽♀️ , they just had to show the village side of Zambia 😅 couldn’t expect anything better anyways .. 🫠
We are suffering 😢😢😢😢
Some of us re in the business of Fashion Designing and we are using industrial Machines
Upnd Have Failed 😢😢😢😢😢
Zambia Electrical Supply Company has failed and literally failed to think that some day due to these climate changes drought could hit us so badly. Poor planning and poor management
Western propaganda 😂
Been in the Solar Energy Sector for 5 years now, I can tell you that people in rural areas were prepared for this. They are not as affected as the people in urban and perri urban areas are. It is for this reason that sales in urban areas have shot up.
Where do you media companies even get this footage of villages? This is not how Zambia looks like 😂
As a Zambian, it's so upsetting to be going through this.
We play alot in Zambia here.😂😂
Tks to Development in so called 1 St world. Africa suffered.
Solar power should be the only solution….😢…
Since when did our 20 million population reach 68 million?🇿🇲🤔
😅
Pictures are wrong
Not 3 hrs of power, more like 3 hours in 5 days. Even though tax have been removed on solar products on imports, companies are exploiting Zambians using high commodity prices, things are really really bad here.
As Zambian 3 hrs per day with power it's not true it's just a cover up story we go up to days with no power no water people Walk at night to look for water . Zambian government have no say the quick in saying but not in doing .. were have too much sunshine wind rising but they depending on hydro .life is becoming hard and will continue..
I heard That zambia participate in Green Energy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
3 hours😢
😂😂😂😂
China did not built all this stuff for free, they will have to worry about loan repayments too.
They do have uranium if am not mistaken
Guys it's bad 😢
Showing wrong pictures
A country which has 43% of land occupied by water bodies in rivers and lakes alike shouldn't be talking about blackouts. Unless their leaders are such poor in thinking.
We go up to two days without power here in Lusaka
Can one try to be honest with me.Why does Africa export uranium instead of opening nuclear power stations ?
Ei! Why are y'all showing villages/rural areas like Zambia is one big village? 😂💁🏾♂️
Thta makes us look like we got nothing greater than that. 🤦🏾♂️
But damn, we really are suffering with 23hrs of loads shedding.
For past 6 days we haven't had power, it really messing with our monthly budget cause relish is going bad, some of us can afford those solar alternatives
This is a great opportunity for Africa and Zambia,in particular. This is the necessary 'evil' that we needed to force the actualization of personal self relience.
Let me save you the trouble, no, solar can't fill in the gap the dams have left.
That would require an ungodly number of panels, which we dont have an ungodly amount of money we dont have…and no, we can't borrow from China. Aren't we still paying them the last loan?
ZESCO lack’s competition
The only way I repeat only thermal power can help we have coal than sand in Zambia
Why y’all showing Rural Areas??
You guys should be serious
Wasn't she a BBC presenter this lady😂😂
Great post
To be honest, the load-shedding situation started in 2007 in Zambia. However, our country is only now implementing measures to encourage the use of alternative power sources such as solar and gas…. I feel we had enough time and it is too little too late 😢
Poor planning by the government
Those are stereotypical villages you are showing. Zambia is one of the most urbanized countries south of the equator in Africa.
Whoever gave you that footage lied and lies to you.
Lets be very clear. This mess cannot be blamed on drought and elnino let alone climate change. This is all about useless corrupt African government and a simple lack of hard work, planning and development.
In Zimbabwe they is no electricity problem
They announced 3 hours a day but in reality its actually 3 hours every 3 days. I literally dont know anywhere where they have 3 hours of electricity everyday. Sometimes we get morethan 3 hours, but we definitely dont get power everyday.
