“Energy-starved Zimbabwe will suffer longer and more frequent power shortages for the next 10 years, a senior official said Friday. The country’s power utility will extend blackouts until it can boost capacity. Due to ageing equipment, power generation is often disrupted following breakdowns. In most cases, the generators operate below capacity. In recent months, Zimbabwe could only afford to import 25 megawatts from nearby countries after major electricity suppliers in the region turned off the switches over non-payment of dues.” [If you really want to destroy something useful, put the government in charge of it.]
