Zesa to switch off defaulting customers

The Zimbabwe Electricity and Distribution Company (ZETDC) has threatened to switch off over defaulting customers on the post-paid meter system starting this week accusing them of neglecting to pay their electricity bills.

The outstanding bills have ballooned to $1 billion, the Zesa subsidiary has said.

ZETDC managing director Julian Chinembiri yesterday said  that the debt had stalled most of the power utility's expansion projects.
