The Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) Limited on Monday rolled out an anti-vandalism campaign for the Southern Region.
The official launch of the month-long campaign took place at Chirimba Primary School Ground in Blantyre where representatives of the police and the community leaders graced the occasion.
In his speech marking the launch, ESCOM District Engineer (Limbe), Eston Macheche, said vandalism was affecting the corporation’s service delivery.
He added: “We urge all of you to take a leading role in safeguarding the property of ESCOM by reporting to the authorities those found vandalising ESCOM property.”
Protecting the property of ESCOM is our collective responsibility because if such property is vandalised, entire communities are affected,” he said.
