Power black outs back with a bang
Power producers, Egenco and distributors Escom are on a collision course after the latter announced prolonged power blackouts just hours after Egenco said loadshedding was now over.

Escom says in a statement this was due to inadequate electricity due to challenges with generation.

But Consumers of Malawi executive director John Kapito slammed both Egenco and Escom over frequent power cuts, saying they are insensitive and take Malawians for granted.
