ZAMBIA suffered a massive power blackout that affected most provinces caused by a failed circuit breaker at the power generation plant at Kariba Dam.
The power outage that occurred around 10:30 hours affected nearly all parts of the country except for Livingstone and the Western Province.
Zesco Limited managing director Ernest Mupwaya confirmed the power outage but assured that power would be restored as the electricity utility company was working hard to resolve the problem.
In Lusaka, the unexpected blackout affected motorists as traffic lights failed causing massive congestion on the roads.
