Robert Mugabe and wife Grace owe £220,000 to Zimbabwe’s failing power firm

Others have been cut off for non-payment of bills of just £20 but local papers
reported that when Zesa workers tried to cut the power to the homes of Zanu
PF officials, they were chased away by dogs and guards.

Some are struggling to pay the bills because they have failed to make the
farms they acquired after the 2000 land seizures. Others say the bills are
incorrect.

Saviour Kasukuwere, the Zanu PF Youth Development, Indigenisation and
Empowerment minister, owes £70,000 to Zesa but said he was challenging Zesa
over the bill.

“I am a farmer, I employ people, I have not yet been paid for crops for
the last three or four months, and I am sure many of us are in the same
situation,” he said. “We will pay our bills but we are also
querying them.”

But a Harare man whose small clothing factory is crippled by the lack of
electricity, said Zanu PF politicians should pay up: “We pay our bills
even when we have no power. Why doesn’t Mugabe pay his?”
