Santa ESCOM: Keeps the switch on for Christmas

Advertisement

Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) provided electricity to Malawians on Christmas Day.

Malawians have for the past months been experiencing blackouts lasting over 24 hours.

ESCOM managed to provide power on Christmas day.

But on Christmas Day ESCOM managed to provide power all day to many parts of the country.

People on social media were surprised by the gesture and some applauded the electricity supplier for giving them power.

Other people joked about having power all day saying ESCOM employees forgot to switch off power before leaving office for holiday.

 “Madolo a ESCOM ayiwala kuzimitsa magetsi popita ku tchuthi cha khisimisi. Zitheka bwanji pa Nyasaland magetsi kuyaka tsiku lonse? Kaya akabwera kumeneko sitidzakhala week yonse opanda magetsi kubwezeretsa magetsi awo omwe atayika lerowa kaya? Apa tingotchajiratu chilichonse chomwe chili mnyumba: Mbale, mapoto, makapu,” wrote one Malawian on social media.

    1. We are talking of blackouts due to ESCOM failing to supply electricity not units!

  7. Hahahaha there is nothing to proclaim here people want electricity day in day out ESCOM remains a shameful institution celebrating useless claims. It’s your mandate to provide electricity why celebrate doing your routine work which is always unsatisfactory? Malawians are really taken for granted

    1. #Mfumu..do yo think am just making up these sentiments…?.. Zomba yesterday we had power back around 5pm and this was from the other day morning blackout..winanso afunsa which side of Zomba?..anyway,to answer in advance to this upcoming question… If you have uncle,Dad,bro or whosoever works at Zomba or regional escom ask them..they are the ones who hit the switch and they know purely areas to be in darkness…No wonder Peter talked of candles when that kid asked.
