The power cuts will add to mounting public anger against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government as Zimbabweans grapple with an economic crisis that has seen shortages of US dollars, fuel, food and medicines.

HARARA - Zimbabwe has started rolling power cuts lasting up to eight hours that will also hit mines, a schedule from the state power utility showed on Monday, after reduced output at both the largest hydro plant and aging coal-fired generators.

The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company said power cuts, known locally as load shedding, would start on Monday and will last up to eight hours during morning and evening peak periods. Isaac Kwesu, chief executive of Chamber of Mines, which groups Zimbabwe’s biggest mining companies, did not answer his mobile phone when contacted for comment.
