Harare faces a worsening power crisis as Kariba's water levels drop for 2027, with officials targeting only 1,500MW of captive power generation, per thezimbabwean.co.

The country's main hydroelectric source is being significantly curtailed due to reduced rainfall and water allocation issues, impacting electricity supply across the capital, Bloomberg reports.

In a separate development, a Harare lawyer was arrested for theft of trust property, according to newsday.co.zw, highlighting ongoing legal concerns in the city.
