A power blackout at Malawi’s parliament building has left at least one person needing medical attention, after he got stuck in a lift, according to a tweet by the Malawi Nation newspaper:
A staff member is receiving medical attention after he was stuck in a lift due to a blackout at Parliament.
It says the power cut has led to the suspension of parliamentary business:
Parliament suspended temporarily as power went off at 10.33am & efforts to turn on the genset haven’t been successful.
Malawians experience power outages for an average of between six to 12 hours every day.
The cuts have been heavily affecting small businesses, who have to rely on expensive generators.
