JUST IN: THREE FIX-ZESCO PROTESTERS DETAINED

Arrest at ZESCO Headquarters

In a surprising turn of events, three activists from the FixZESCO movement were detained by police at the ZESCO Headquarters earlier today. The protesters had gathered outside the building to voice their frustrations over the long hours of Load Shedding that have been plaguing the country.

Protesters’ Demands

The FixZESCO activists have been calling for better management of the power supply in Zambia for months now. They argue that the frequent power outages are not only inconvenient but also damaging to the economy. Businesses are struggling to operate effectively, and households are left in the dark for hours on end.

Police Response

When the protesters arrived at the ZESCO Headquarters this morning, they were met with a heavy police presence. The authorities claimed that the demonstration was unauthorized and disruptive. Despite this, the activists refused to disperse and continued to demand a meeting with ZESCO officials.

Detention of Activists

After several hours of standoff, the police made the decision to detain three of the protesters. Eyewitnesses reported that the activists were forcibly removed from the scene and taken away in police vehicles. It is unclear what charges they may face, but it is likely that they will be accused of public disturbance.

ZESCO’s Response

In the midst of the chaos, ZESCO officials have remained silent on the issue. The power utility company has yet to release a statement regarding the protesters or the ongoing issues with Load Shedding. Many are calling on ZESCO to address the concerns of the FixZESCO activists and work towards a solution that benefits all Zambians.

Public Outcry

The detention of the FixZESCO activists has sparked outrage among the public. Social media has been flooded with messages of support for the protesters, with many condemning the police action as unjust. Calls for the immediate release of the detained activists have been growing louder by the hour.

What’s Next?

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen what will happen next. Will the detained activists be released? Will ZESCO finally address the concerns of the FixZESCO movement? Only time will tell. In the meantime, the people of Zambia are left to grapple with the uncertainty of when the next power outage will occur.
