Power Outage Disrupts Mnangagwa's State of the Nation Address

President Emmerson Mnangagwa was forced to conclude his State of the Nation Address in near darkness due to a power outage at the New Parliament Building in Mt Hampden.

The 83-year-old President was addressing legislators and top government officials when the power outage occurred. An aide used a torch to illuminate Mnangagwa's notes, allowing him to complete his speech.

This incident is not an isolated one, as a similar power cut plunged Zimbabwe's parliament into darkness in November last year during Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube's budget speech.

Moments after he concluded, power was restored.
