ZESCO has restored power in Nakonde district in Northern Province after some weeks of power blackout.
Nakonde District Commissioner Edwin Sinyinza confirmed the development in an interview with ZANIS in Nakonde today.
A snap survey by ZANIS revealed that operations in all government departments including pumping of water which was halted following the power black out have resumed normal operations.
Most of the areas in the township have started receiving normal supply of water.
Residents have commended the power utility company for working tirelessly and ensuring that a transformer was sourced to restore power supply in the district.
Power was restored after a 33KV transformer which was damaged last month at the local sub station was replaced with a new one.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Nakonde residents thronged ZESCO sub station to catch a glimpse of the arrival of the new transformer and a crane carried on heavy duty trucks and the installation of a new transformer.

Emergency preparedness comes with years of planning the whole country is already broken down due to lack of leadership from top bottom and the people are to blame too because they have settled for lies and not demanded leadership in issues that affect them.
