Zimbabwe's government has bailed out the country's power utility after South Africa threatened to cut electricity supplies over an unpaid debt of $12m (£10m), the state-owned Herald newspaper reports.
The government has given South Africa's state power company Eskom a $35m (£29m) guarantee to avert a "looming disaster", the newspaper quotes an unnamed source as saying.
Zimbabwe's power utility Zesa is owed $1.1bn by customers and it would have to be "rigorous and innovative" to recover the money, the source added, the newspaper reports. BBC
