The Zesco Prayer

Share

Our ZESCO, which art in Zambia

Damned be thy name

Thy monopoly go

Thy incompetence be undone on earth as it is not done in heaven

Give us this day our daily power

And forgive our insults on you

As we have been forgiving your endless incompetence

Lead us not into temptation when the lights are off

But deliver us from darkness

For thine is the monopoly
The mismanagement and the incompetence

For ever and ever
Amen

    • Bordering on blasphemy. No wonder you live with power cuts, too disrespectful to God. May you get more load shedding!

    • LOL! very funny and creative. We need a complete overhaul of ZESCO management,policy regarding energy and a better customer relations team at ZESCO.Establish a ZESCO/Energy think tank….Our patience at their incompetence is running at dangerously low levels.

  1. @ Michael Chishala, your frustration against ZESCO is shared among many citizens of this country. ZESCO has no reason for treating its customers with the poor service, let alone the excuses they are giving of poor rainfall. They have engineers who should be looking at future needs and plan for worst case scenarios.The Euro Bond should help them with power generation so that citizens can see the fruits of the investiments that they have to tighten their belts for. However, using the Lord’s prayer to express your disatisfaction is not at all acceptable. Scripture is against using the name of the Lord in vain and this extends to using the word of God in a way that may not honour Him. The Lord’s prayer is to adore God and should only be used for that purpose

  2. The only problem I see here is that there is probably not a single big honcho at Zesco with enough brain matter in his thick head to get any message from this funny satire.

  3. Ifintu ni lungu continue voting for PF. Management at ZESCO is under deeply troubling pressure from the ruling party

  4. And this is where I come to like Islam. You don’t play around with anything religious in Isalm. Sad that in christianity people can mock, play around with religious acts like this writing and go untouched. Very sad indeed.

    • ba Napasa, I’m sure I will not be the first one to remind you that you are free to join the jihadists since nobody on this side will ever hold a gun to your head and force you to be Christian. But once you are in the jihadists’ camp they will hold a gun to your head if you so much as entertain the thought of ditching them.

      But I’m sure you already knew that.

    • You are not yet surprised wait for 2016 general election everyone will be fighting for his own constituency, hence the results will be more than this……watch the space.

  5. It’s not normal to allow this nosence from ZESCO . From today I can’t even pay DSTV because I’m not watching TV home due to power . How do you pay something you don’t watch. No news, production in other business is slow and one expects ZRA TO CORRECT REVENUE from what production .
