Former legislator Temba Mliswa accused Vice President Constantino Chiwenga's wife of deliberately causing a blackout that interrupted President Emmerson Mnangagwa's address to parliament on Tuesday, Oct. 28. Mliswa claimed Colonel Miniyothabo Baloyi Chiwenga used her position in the Military Intelligence Directorate to undermine the president and advance her husband's political ambitions. He said she operates a separate command structure that conflicts with official military leadership.

Parliament Clerk Kennedy Chokuda stated on Wednesday, October 29, that the building had switched to generator power after being disconnected from the national grid. The temporary supply failed when a circuit breaker tripped, and restoration took longer than anticipated. Authorities suspended the acting electricity transmission director despite evidence suggesting parliament's internal systems caused the outage rather than the national utility company.
