Rural electrification transforms Beitbridge West

The people of Beitbridge West are already enjoying the benefits of the government's rural electrification programme, which has seen the installation of solar-powered street lights and household connections in the area.

The programme, which is being implemented by the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC), has brought much-needed light and power to the area, which has previously been in darkness.

Residents of Beitbridge West say that the new street lights have made the area safer and more secure, as they now have light to walk around in at night. They also say that the household connections have made it possible for them to use electricity for cooking, lighting, and other household chores.
