How To Buy ZESA Prepaid Electricity Vouchers Via Ecocash

Econets’s Ecocash mobile money service has proven its determination as the most innovative mobile money service in Zimbabwe, ecocash last week closed a deal with Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission Distribution Corporation (ZETDC) to sell prepaid ZESA vouchers.

ZESA’s least prepaid token is priced at $5 hence a purchase of less than $5 will not allow you to buy a electricity voucher. Ecocash has over six million customers, which translate to about 80 percent of Zimbabwe’s adult population and close to 26 000 agents in Zimbabwe with some over US$6,6 billion going through the Ecocash platform the past 12 months.
