The Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) says it is intensifying nationwide community sensitization efforts to curb vandalism of critical electricity infrastructure, especially power transformers. In Lumbadzi, ESCOM works with the Malawi Police Service and local traditional leadership to raise awareness about the harm caused by damaging electrical equipment and to discourage illegal interference. On Thursday, ESCOM and police held an anti-vandalism awareness campaign at Mkukula Primary School ground in Lumbadzi, where chiefs were engaged as part of the outreach. The initiative is described as part of ESCOM’s broader “fight against vandalism,” using community meetings and local partnerships to improve reporting and prevention. While the reports focus on sensitization activities, they present the same core message: that vandalism threatens electricity supply and safety, and that coordinated community engagement is intended to reduce such incidents. The outlets provide consistent details on the location, partners involved, and the emphasis on transformer-related vandalism.
