ZESCO says it is ensuring that all Zambians experience their fair share of loadshedding.

Company public relations manager Hezel Zulu explained in a statement that only vital installations such as hospitals and airports along with houses and businesses Shar the same Zesco connection with these institutions are exempted from power outages.

“Our customers should know that Zesco is not in any way being selective in the manner it is implementing the loadshedding exercise,” stated Zulu.

Zambia is currently experiencing one of the worst power deficits not seen in recent memory where homes and businesses are enduring up to 20 hours of no power a day.

Small medium businesses operating saloons, barbershops and welding workshops in the compounds have been the most affected.
