Zimbabwe lights back up after nationwide grid collapse

Zimbabwe has restored electricity to most of the country after a nationwide blackout caused by a grid failure on Monday evening. The outage highlighted the country's aging power infrastructure and ongoing energy shortages. Engineers used power from four generating stations, including imports from South Africa's Eskom, to bring electricity back by 10:00 p.m. Local authorities noted that repairs were still underway in Harare, particularly at the Hwange Power Station. The incident has reignited discussions about Zimbabwe's long-term energy challenges, including outdated infrastructure, limited investment, and the impact of drought on hydropower generation.
