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.

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.
DIKILANI ITHE KAYE HOLIDAY NGAT MAGETSI AYAKANSO

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

Its a joke..I never saw power yesterday in 24hrs
where? which area? & which District?
Very sorry my brother
kkkkk sorry

Sometimes these people are ironic…
but u ‘ve not answered the question “where?”
#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.
osangoti Ku Namwela Ku malosa kwa thizimuleni mfumu chinyophilo mesa kwanu nkumeneko zoba iwe….kkkk…anakuchitani bwino ndipo
