Zambia’s power utility company, Zesco Limited, has announced that it has restored its prepaid vending system.
This means customers can now buy electricity from any of the company’s platforms.
Last Saturday, scores of Zambians were forced to sleep in darkness as a result of a technical challenge with Zesco’s prepaid vending system which made it difficult for them to purchase credit onto their meters.
The unfortunate development compelled Zambians to take to social media to express their frustration.
In a statement issued by the Corporate Affairs Department of Zesco, it said the Corporation was doing everything possible to resolve the technical problem and restore the vending system at the earliest time possible.
The system was restored after some hours on Saturday.
Zesco, in a statement, thanked Zambians for their patience.
