Good luck paying your power bill next week. The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company, ZETDC, is switching its whole billing system, knocking post-paid billing and new connection services offline for a stretch starting December 27th and running through January 5th. Customers with regular monthly bills need to settle any outstanding amounts before or during this period to make sure their balances transfer correctly to the new setup.
People can still pay existing bills at ZETDC offices or other approved spots, as receipting services stay on. Folks using prepaid meters should mostly be okay, but the company warns the token vending system might glitch around New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Their advice is to stock up on credit by December 30th to avoid getting stuck in the dark.
