Itezhi-Tezhi

Itezhi-Tezhi is a small town in the north western part of Southern Province of Zambia, situated west of Namwala town. The town owes its existence to the construction of Itezhi-Tezhi Dam on the Kafue River in the early 1970's. The dam was created to hold and regulate the water flow in the river for Kafue Gorge Power Station lower down stream. Its population is estimated at 4,000 people and the main employer in the town is the electricity company ZESCO.
