Traditional leaders in Kasungu have called for community-led security patrols to protect electricity infrastructure following a wave of transformer vandalism that has left several local communities without power. Four transformers have been vandalized in the district within weeks, prompting the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) to launch targeted community sensitization campaigns. ESCOM estimates it loses approximately K3 billion annually to deliberate infrastructure vandalism, diverting vital financial resources away from grid expansion projects.
