Zenka Clinic electrification. Zesa Kwekwe still to connect Zenka to the power grid. The promised date of 5th of May has come and gone. Zenka clinic deserves and needs to be connected to the power grid in order to offer excellent health services in rural Nkai South. Please exert pressure on Zesa Kwekwe to connect Zenka clinic.

5:23pm, 22 May - ‪+27 79 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩‬: They had promised to connect on the 5th of May, but they have just gone quiet. Rem we aren't allowed to take matters to the media.

5:25pm, 22 May - Bulawayo24 News: Are u part of the Clinic staff?

5:28pm, 22 May - ‪+27 79 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩‬: No, The wiring was inspected and passed. What's left is the connection to the grid. The power grid actually runs through the clinic yard! Zenka clinic relies on gas fridge for vaccines and solar for lighting

5:38pm, 22 May - Bulawayo24 News: Have you ever tried to get comments from both the Zesa and the clinic about the delay. Maybe there is a genuine reason

5:43pm, 22 May - ‪+27 79 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩‬: Tried but staff there simply say it's now a "cold case" and are afraid to seek clarification directly because of protocol hence I came to you.
