A WHIRLWIND reportedly short-circuited a high voltage power line at Emakhandeni substation in Bulawayo, resulting in an explosion that sent residents scurrying for cover, amid fears that at least eight suburbs serviced by the facility may go for days without power.
Zesa employees who were at the station at about 1.30pm when the explosion rocked the substation reportedly led the stampede for cover.
When a Chronicle news crew visited the scene yesterday, Zesa employees were scattered at the gate with residents taking turns to catch a glimpse of the burnt room from afar.
