Dambudziko remagetsi rinonzi riri kutarisirwa kutowedzera zvichitevera kudzikira zvakanyanya kwemvura iri mudhamu reKariba iyo inoshandiswa mukugaya magetsi negwenya reKariba South Hydroelectric Power Station uko kunotora nyika mamwe emagetsi anoshandiswa munyika.
Izvi zvinonzi nedzimwe nyanzvi mune zvehupufmi zvichakanganisa zvakanyanya hupfumi hwenyika nekuda kwetadza kushanda zvizere kwemakambani akawanda, migodhi pamwe nemumapurazi, uyewo zvinonzi zvichakonzera kusagadzikana kwemari yemunyika yeZiG.
Mashoko ekuti mvura yadzikira mudhamu reKariba ari kuuya panguva iyo kambani yeZESA yakazivisa svondo rapera kuti dambudziko rekudzimwadzimwa kwemagetsi richamboramba riripo zvichikonzerwa nekufa kwerimwe remagwenya emarasha kuHwange.
Kunyange hazvo kambani iyi yakati iri kuita zvose zvainogona kugadzirisa dambudziko iri, munyika munonzi hamuchina mufaro sezvo kushaikwa kwemagetsi uku kuchinzi kuri kukanganisa zvakawanda.
Mumwe murimi wekuMacheke mudunhu reMashonaland East, VaValentine Ziswa, vanoti kushomeka kwemagetsi munyika kwave kukanganisa mabasa evarimi vakawanda sezvo vamwe vakarima gorosi ravari kudiridzira vachishandisa magetsi, uyewo vamwe varimi vakatotanga kutimbikira fodya kutanga kwemwedzi uno iyo inoda zvakare kudiridzirwa.
Varimi vakawanda vakarima gorosi rekudiridza vanoti vanoda magetsi.
Havasi varimi chete vari kuchema nekudzimwadzimwa kwemagetsi munyika. Vezvitori ndevamwe vari kuchemawo sezviri kutaurwa nemutungamiri wesangano revezvitoro reConfederation of Zimbabwe Retailers, VaDenford Mutashu, avo vanoti zvave kudhurira vezvitoro vakawanda kuti vashandise majenareta nekuda kwemutengo wedhiziri.

Ukuwo, VaMutashu vanodzoka vachiti vemabhizimusi vave kungotarisira kuvimbiso dziri kupiwa nehurumende iyo iri kuti ine dzimwe mhindu dzairi kuita kugadzirisa dambudziko remagetsi iri.
“Hongu magetsi ari kushomeka kuburikidza ne load shedding iriko. Asi vezvitoro vanosungirwa kunge vachitsvaga dzimwe nzira dzisiri magetsi dzekunge vachi runner mabhizimisi avo kunyange dai zvazvo zvichiuya nemuripo unenge uri pamusoro pane kunge uchishandisa magetsi,” VaMutashu vanodaro.
