The electricity supply to part of the customers in the Manhiça district in Maputo province has been interrupted, affecting around 12,000 customers.

In a statement, the company Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) explained that the interruption was due to an anomaly on the Muhalaze-Manhiça line.

"As soon as the incident was reported, EDM's technical teams were on the ground to ensure that the normal electricity supply to the affected areas was restored as soon as possible," the statement said.

EDM also said that due to the severity of the accident, it will have to replace the damaged equipment with a new one, which could lengthen the time it takes to restore the power supply.

EDM appeals for everyone's understanding for the inconvenience caused.
