Shock as Meikles hotel tells guests to bath using buckets

Top tourist establishment Meikles hotel has told its guests that they should bath using buckets after the institution told the guests that they are running on a generator.

Meikles said the cause of the announcement was a ZESA fault in the CBD.

This is what kills Tourism , the lack of urgency from its enablers to support and facilitate the Sector @OfficialZESA get your act together as a matter of urgency. @ZtaUpdates pic.twitter.com/L3qBWkQrh8

Read the full letter:

Dear Guest,

Please be advised that the hotel has been operating on generator power since Saturday, June 11th, 2022, due to a fault that developed within the CBD. The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority is working around the clock to try to fix the problem.

Considering the above, the air conditioning in the rooms and public areas is not working, and there is no hot water. If you require hot water for bathing, please contact our housekeeping department on extension 82, and a bucket will be delivered to you.

We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences caused.

Thank you
