Some parts of Bluff Hill suburb in Harare have not had power supply since Thursday night when a Zesa Holdings transformer along Campbell Town Road was burnt to cinders.
Harare City Council chief fire officer Mr Lovemore Mafukidze confirmed the incident yesterday, but referred further questions to Zesa.
“There was a fire outbreak in Bluff Hill where a Zesa transformer was burnt. The fire apparently disrupted electricity supplies to some properties around the area, but Zesa would have finer details on the issue,” he said.
Zesa spokesperson Ms Prisca Utete referred questions to the power utility’s Harare region general manager Abel Gurupira.
“I am yet to receive a report of the incident, but the company’s policy is that only the public relations department is allowed to speak to the media, so Ms Utete should be handling this,” said Mr Gurupira.
