Zimbabweans from all walks of life call for the disbanding of ZESA after years of power cuts and soaring electricity bills.
Yes ZESA has been hanging round the nation's neck like a mile stone and should have been disbanded a long time ago. In fact the nation was doing very well thank until the five or so power suppliers were melted to form ZESA.
But come to think of it; we would probably be in the same mess we are in today even if this creature "ZESA" had never existed. In other words we will still have power cuts and astronomical electricity bills even if ZESA was disbanded today.
ZESA has suffered from chronic mismanagement and corruption. Sydney Gata has been a complete disaster for ZESA; he should have never been appointed CE. As long as politicians like Mugabe can appoint cronies, his brother-in-law in this case, to run companies like ZESA (disbanded or otherwise) then the rot will continue.
We need a political sea change. Every position from the headman to State President must be filled by the person judged best able to that job on merit and not on the basis of one’s political connections or loyalty to the self serving and tyrannical political system we have in the country today.
