ZESCO electricity connection

Hi, so I applied to Zesco to have my property connected. I paid the required (standard) fees as requested by Zesco in October 2020. I was told the property will be connected within 6 months. 2 weeks from the date of payment, a Zesco Employee came to the property with the required items to do the connection. Upon arrival, he requested to be paid ZMW 3500 to connect or else he won’t. Upon being told we didn’t have that amount, the gentleman put back the items in the vehicle and left. He appeared this year in March and still requested for the same amount. I was not home this time around, and the children called me. He gentlemen left again without connection. We have made several attempts at Zesco offices but to no avail. Its like without these bribes being requested for, your property will not be connected. As I write to you, my property is still not connected.

Lusaka.
