Zimbabwe's state power utility ZESA reported a nationwide power outage on Monday evening, saying a technical fault on its network caused the blackout at 1824 (1624 GMT) local time.
ZESA said its technical teams were investigating the cause of the outage.
Zimbabweans have long experience with blackouts, exacerbated by ageing equipment at power plants and foreign currency shortages that meant authorities cannot pay for imports.
The utility said its engineers were working to restore grid stability and would provide further updates as restoration progressed.
