A power outage during President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s State of the Nation Address on October 28, 2025, plunged Zimbabwe’s New Parliament Building into darkness, forcing him to finish his speech by torchlight.
The disruption, the second such incident during a major national event this year, followed a generator failure and a fault in a 132kV feeder line, with ZESA citing severe weather as a contributing factor.
Speaker Jacob Mudenda condemned the outage, vowing to hold those responsible accountable, while officials acknowledged ongoing energy shortages due to drought, plant outages, and infrastructure challenges.
No official explanation was provided for the generator’s failure to activate.
