[BBC NEWS] Zimbabwe power outages hit businesses and families

Power outages in Zimbabwe – which sometimes go on for 18 hours at a time – have grown more severe

BBC News reports:

It is after 10 o’clock at night, and Zimbabwe’s capital Harare is uncharacteristically dark.

Chatter and laughter emerge from a small factory inside the Willowvale Industrial Park.

Men in overalls sit around a small fire under the moonlight, waiting for the few hours of power so they can work.

Outages are normal in Zimbabwe, but rarely are they this severe.
