The outages occurred at around 9:00 p.m. as votes were being counted in polling stations following the local elections.<\/p>\n

Laulane, Bagamoio, Inhagoia A and B, 3 de Fevereiro, Hulene, Mahotas, Roma\u0303o, Albazine, Zimpeto, George Dimitrov and Magoanine A, B and C were among the Maputo neighbourhoods affected. Voting officers had to use their cell phone flashlights to continue working.<\/p>\n

In some neighbourhoods, such as Zimpeto, Magoanine A, B and C, the blackout lasted until 05:30 a.m. this (Thursday) morning, while other neighbourhoods suffered repeated outages lasting as long as two hours.<\/p>\n

At the time of going to press, Electricidade de Moc\u0327ambique (EDM) has not issued any statement explaining the reasons for the widespread blackouts.<\/p>\n
