Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) has bought 4 000 transformers to replace those that have been vandalised across the country, an official has said.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Concession this week during a stakeholder outreach programme, acting managing director Howard Choga also said the company intends to buy 1 000 new service vehicles.<\/p>\n

Choga revealed that critical institutions, including clinics and schools, will be prioritised in the installation of the transformers. The Herald<\/b> quoted Choga as saying:<\/p>\n

We are replacing these transformers in areas that are identified and prioritised by the local leadership.<\/p>\n

We are starting with areas where a majority of people benefit like schools and clinics.<\/p>\n

We are also grappling with shortages of service vehicles. Early last year, we agreed that 2 000 vehicles are sufficient to operate efficiently.<\/p>\n

We have committed to buying more than 1 000 vehicles but owing to global challenges in shipment, it is difficult.<\/p>\n

However, 30 of our vehicles have so far been placed on production lines in South Africa.<\/p>\n

He urged consumers with vandalised transformers to inform their nearest ZESA depot.<\/p>\n
