The electricity challenges in Zimbabwe will be exacerbated by the shortage that has already hit South Africa.

Zimbabwe and Zambia face possible electricity challenges following the reduction of power generation at Lake Kariba due to declining water levels in the water body.

“The lake level is currently five metres above the minimum operating level when it should be eight above the minimum operating level at this time of the year,” ZRA, the authority jointly constituted by Zambia and Zimbabwe, said in a statement Friday. Owing to the below normal rains recorded to date, ZRA said the inflows into the lake had been below average, leading to the water levels at Lake Kariba dropping by over three metres from October 2018 to February 2019.
