Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission & Distribution Company Important Notice to Customers 2012 Winter Load Shedding Programmes
ZIMBABWE ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION COMPANY IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS 2012 WINTER LOAD SHEDDING PROGRAMMES INTRODUCTION The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission & Distribution Company is experiencing a power shortfall due to generation constraints at Hwange Power Station, the low dispatch at the small thermal power stations and power import constraints. The power shortfall is being managed through load shedding in order to balance the power supply and demand. Power demand peaks to about 2100MW in Zimbabwe during the winter period. The load shedding programmes are only a guide for planning purposes. The power supply situation is DYNAMIC and load shedding on a day will depend on the power available and power demanded on the day. In the event of the supply shortfalls falling below anticipated averages on a particular day, then the additional areas indicated on the schedules will be load shed. ZETDC is doing everything possible to improve the available capacity. Customers are asked to use the limited power sparingly. All non-essential loads should be switched off. Domestic geysers and water heaters should be switched off manually between 5pm and 8pm to enable more residential areas to have power. All commercial customers are required to switch off all lights, office equipment and appliances that will not be in use over night. All customers are being called upon not to use lights during the day where possible. Essential services loads in the categories listed below are exempted from load shedding. • Major Referral Hospitals • Major Water & Sewer installations • National Security Establishments • Major Airports and Broadcasting Stations • Major Central Business Districts The major winter wheat clusters will receive priority supplies. -
Literature Review
UNIVERSITY OF ZIMBABWE Impact and sustainability of drip irrigation kits, in the semi-arid Lower Mzingwane Catchment, Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe By Richard Moyo A thesis submitted to the University of Zimbabwe (Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering) in partial fulfilment of requirements of Master of Science in Water Resources Engineering and Management ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers in the Mzingwane Catchment are confronted with low food productivity due to erratic rainfall and limitations to appropriate technologies. Several drip kit distribution programs were carried out in Zimbabwe as part of a global initiative aimed at 2 million poor households a year to take major step on the path out of poverty. Stakeholders have raised concerns of limitations to conditions necessary for sustainable usage of drip kits, such as continuing availability of minimum water requirement. Accordingly, a study was carried out to assess the impacts and sustainability of the drip kit program in relation to water availability, access to water and the targeting of beneficiaries. Representatives of the NGOs, local government, traditional leadership and agricultural extension officers were interviewed. Drip kit beneficiaries took part in focus group discussions that were organised on a village basis. A survey was then undertaken over 114 households in two districts, using a questionnaire developed from output of the participatory work. Data were analysed using SPSS. The results from the study show us that not only poor members of the community (defined for the purpose of the study as those not owning cattle), accounting for 54 % of the beneficiaries. This could have been a result of the condition set by some implementing NGOs that beneficiaries must have an assured water source - which is less common for poorer households. -

Practical Experiences of Community Based Disaster Risk Management Planning in Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe
Practical experiences of Community Based Disaster Risk Management Planning in Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe Community VCA meeting Marula Ward 1 Practical experiences of CBDRM planning in Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe Preamble Growth, development and progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is increasingly being undermined by the impact of a variety of hazards, both natural and man- made. The rising cost of disasters in both developed and emerging countries has moved disaster risk reduction to centre stage in the battle against poverty. One hundred and sixty eight countries (168) have signed up to the ISDR sponsored Hyogo Framework for Action which commits signatories to a strategy for building the resilience of nations and communities to disasters. The strategy builds on three strategic goals which ultimate aim to mainstream disaster risk reduction into all development processes. The evidence is clear, disasters are not natural phenomena, but rather problems of poor development planning, exacerbated by rising populations, increasing poverty, environmental degradation and the impacts of climate change. While increasing frequency and intensity of meteorological events is partly to blame, the vulnerability and lack of preparedness of many sectors of society determine the outcome of hazardous events. It has been clearly demonstrated that awareness, preparedness and resilience determine the outcome of the impact of any hazard, be it drought or flood, earthquake or cyclone. Changes in patterns of human behaviour and decision-making at all levels of government and society can lead to substantial reductions in disaster risk. Public awareness of natural hazards and disaster risk reduction education are pre-requisites for effective catastrophic risk management at country and regional levels. -
Community Foundations in Zimbabwe
COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS IN ZIMBABWE Analysis of Eleven Case Studies Surveyed by SIVIO Institute October 2020 sivioinstitute.org Introduction Philanthropy or simply giving is a component and contributions to local organisations which, in turn, use way of life across society. Across sub-Saharan Africa the funds to support projects that improve the quality and indeed in Zimbabwe we have started to see of life. The emphasis of community philanthropy is on the growth of philanthropy. Studies by Moyo (2013), human reciprocity and solidarity. Murisa (2017) and Mohamed (2013) have identified various forms or types of philanthropy but the This form of philanthropy is important in that main focus and the easiest to often track has been community members are at the centre of mobilising, the philanthropy undertaken by High Net Worth sustain, and growing resources (internal and external). Individuals (HNWIs). HNWIs such as Strive Masiyiwa, In doing so communities get to decide for themselves Aliko Dangote, Mo Ibrahim and Patrice Motsepe have how to use the resources and therefore community been identified as among the growing number of philanthropy has the potential to influence and African elites who have also become philanthropists address the current limitations of conventional through their the setting up of various charitable developmental approaches. Community giving is not initiatives and foundations that channel mostly a modern concept or practice. money resources to the poor or needy. As a result, The emphasis of community most people associate philanthropy with wealthy philanthropy is on human individuals, organizations/foundations, and even reciprocity and solidarity. governments – giving from their abundance to those in need and the less fortunate (see Wilkinson-Maposa, As communities grow in their giving, a new layer of Fowler, Olivr-Evans and Mulenga, 2009)1. -
