Lake Kariba dam wall structural rehabilitation to commence in February 2017

Work on the long-awaited rehabilitation of the Kariba Dam wall, which hosts the giant Kariba Hydro-Electric Station that generates electricity for Zimbabwe and Zambia is set to commence in February 2017, the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) has announced. Addressing journalists in the southern Zambian town of Livingstone this week, ZRA chief executive officer, Munyaradzi Munodwafa, said work on the main component, which would be focused on a re-modelling of the plunge-pool to minimise a scouring of its foundations, would commence in February 2017 and continue up to early 2020.
