SMALL and medium-sized enterprises have expressed their appreciation for the government’s efforts to extend power supply hours in residential areas, noting the significant positive impact on their operations.<\/p>\n
In an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka, Stanley Mumba, a welder from Kalingalinga, shared that the enhanced power supply has helped boost his business.<\/p>\n
Mr Mumba mentioned that with more consistent electricity, he has been able to extend his working hours and increase his profit margins, which had previously been affected by frequent power outages.<\/p>\n
Kandendu Kandendu, a hairdresser, also praised the improvement, explaining that his clients no longer avoid his services due to power disruptions.<\/p>\n
“We have not faced any major power outages lately, and we’re grateful to the government for taking steps to reduce load shedding,” he said.<\/p>\n
He acknowledged that the patience shown by himself and other small businesses during the government’s implementation of power stability measures has finally paid off.<\/p>\n
Frank Mwalusaka, a computer science student at Cavendish University, also expressed his gratitude for the increased power supply over the past month.<\/p>\n
“Having electricity both day and night is a huge benefit for us students. It allows us to study late into the night,” he said.<\/p>\n
Mwalusaka added that the stable power supply has eliminated the difficulties he previously faced when working on projects and other academic activities.<\/p>\n
The past month of steady power supply has been well received by consumers, who are hopeful for continued improvements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
