Zimbabwe: Mozambique Suspends Power Over Unpaid Debt
2008-01-09
Zimbabweans can expect to spend more time in the dark after the Mozambique power utility company, Hidroelectrica de Cahora Bassa, suspended supplies to Zimbabwe over an outstanding debt of US$26 million.
That's about 800 kagillion Zim-bucks.
They'll have to charter an Airbus 380 just to pay the interest...
This development was confirmed in a report in the state run Herald newspaper. Zimbabwe's power imports have been falling for various reasons. South Africa's Eskom has stopped supplies claiming "some operational hitches" at its power-generating plants. The Democratic Republic of Congo has also stopped power supplies to Zimbabwe because of 'problems with it's transmission network.' Analysts say the real reason these countries have cut Zimbabwe off is because of unpaid debts.

#5  JFM, you're partially right. There would be hell to pay if the people cutting off the power were white. Since they're not, the libs have no interest. Black on black = no liberal attention.
