U can’t blame zeco for that. There’s a law that reqiures not to have plots under power lines. In fact people shud have plots meters away from these lines. Because of unplanned and illegal plots, such unfortunate incidences are bound to happen.

Like many public functionaries in Zambia, they only react after fatalities! We’ve lost an innocent soul because of the inefficiency of uncaring public
company Zesco, they’ll rush to cover up their carelessness. If I were the parent, I would sue them for every penny they are worth!

The reaction of most people on this issue just shows how shallow minded some people can be.
If the elderly people/parents at this residence were responsible enough this electrocution could have been avoided by securing this cable in any way possible in the first place.This negligence causes doubt if at all this cable was even reported to relevant authorities.
Did they expect the toddler to also jump over the cable? I seriously suspect this story not to be true.
The reporter and the picture are also very misleading.
How on earth can a responsible parent see such danger,jump over it and leave their children to it?
