Tanzania has been experiencing persistent power blackout. Celebrities among them Zuchu, Esma Platnumz, Hajis Manara among others have taken to social media to complain about it.  

The Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO) has been blamed for the blackout.

Taking to Instagram Zuchu wrote;

"Mnafanya kazi mbaya sana. Tanzania maisha yamekua mabaya sana sababu yenu."

Esma Platnumz, a businesswoman and sister to Diamond Platnumz also lamented.

Tanesco basi muwe mnatoa taarifa leo tutakata maeneon fulani ili twende hata kwa ndugu na majamaa zetu wenye majumba ya majenereta tukajistiri. Wengine hatuna uwezo wa kua na nyumb za majenereta ukijipatia pesa yako ya ugali dagaa inatosha kibaya mnakata usiku mzima. Yaani jana hatujalala na joto la Dar kuna muda unaona kama unataka kukabwa

Hajis Manara, a sports enthusiast also aired out his frustration on social media.

Usiku mpaka saa hizi umeme hamjarudisha, wangapi wana uwezo wa generator? Mbona mnatutesa watu wenu? Usiku kucha joto kali. Kweli ni sawa?

Meanwhile, Tanzania's president Samia Suluhu Hassan dissolved the Board of Electricity Corporation (TANESCO).
