ZESA Scrambles to Restore Power After Nationwide Grid Collapse

The state-run Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) announced a sudden, catastrophic failure of the national power grid that plunged most of the country into darkness. ZESA engineers immediately deployed to locate the source of the system disturbance and initiate restoration protocols. This blackout follows months of severe load shedding and deteriorating infrastructure that have crippled local industries. The utility has struggled to secure consistent coal supplies and maintain aging thermal units amid acute foreign currency shortages. Zimbabwe's fragile economic recovery remains entirely hostage to an unstable, underfunded energy grid.
