Changelog

Monday evening's nationwide power cut was a transmission fault, not a return of load-shedding — scheduled cuts have been suspended for about six months. The ZESA item now says so, with dates.

All 29 wards with their suburbs, councillors and email addresses, straight from the council's own directory — plus visiting hours and entry fees for the Natural History Museum, the Railway Museum, Khami and Matobo, checked on the official pages.

The dam page registered on 8 July never had its code behind it and was retired the next morning. Today it returns properly built: all six supply dams from ZINWA's table (verified 8 April 2026), each figure with its date, the Gwayi-Shangani story, and why full dams still don't guarantee water.

The City of Kings joins with three tools built around the question the city asks every day: water. 'Is the Water On?' carries the current 72-hour shedding programme and a neighbour board where residents confirm the water is back in their area; 'Dam Levels' tracks council's published Dam Watch figures — and why full dams don't guarantee water; 'Where Things Stand' keeps plain, dated status on shedding, ZESA load-shedding (paused for ~188 days), Egodini and the Gwayi-Shangani pipeline. Every number carries the date it was published; council's own channels are linked throughout.

Ten research notes covering the water-shedding cycles and borehole queues, ZESA power cuts, the city's industrial past and present, its festivals and football, and where residents get local information. This groundwork shapes which tools we build first.
