BULAWAYO This week approximately 1,000 members of Women and Men of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA/MOZA) marched to the offices of the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) to deliver yellow cards for poor service and high tariffs.
Four simultaneous protests converged on the Lobengula Street offices, but officials quickly closed the gates and locked the doors. The peaceful protests were mobilised after members decided they needed to put direct pressure on ZESA to provide a more efficient service and fair and affordable billing system.
The ‘yellow card’ for ZESA comes with a warning to shape up their service during the month of May or face a ZERO service ZERO bill boycott of payments from June 1, 2010.
