Zimbabwe experienced a nationwide power outage from Sunday night into Monday morning, causing widespread frustration, particularly on social media.

The blackout prompted a swift response from the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC), which issued a statement on Monday to address the issue.

“We regret to advise our valued customers that the national grid experienced a system disturbance last night resulting in a system blackout,” the statement read.

ZETDC claimed that the disturbance in the national grid was the cause of the outage, but that efforts were quickly made to restore service.

“Our engineers reacted and began the restoration process,” the statement continued. “We are happy to advise that as of this morning most of the load centres have been picked countrywide.”
