HARARE, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Each time power cuts disrupt his work, Ngwarayi Mushaurwa resorts to cranking up a diesel generator to keep his welding business running.
Making ends meet in Ruwa, a town southeast of Zimbabwe's capital Harare, Mushaurwa is not alone in facing rising operational costs due to frequent electricity outages. A prolonged drought has lowered water levels at Lake Kariba, home to the Kariba South Power Station, significantly impacting electricity generation at the country's main hydropower facility.
