Most parts of Zimbabwe’s capital get electricity for only seven hours per day, and the hours usually come overnight, when there is less usage and power stations can meet demand.

Nelson Muzhuwe, who manufactures door and window frames, says he is recovering from a cold he caught while working overnight. He has an appeal to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government.
