Many people living in shacks in the township of Mdantsane in East London are using illegal electricity wire connections which are not connected by Eskom but by non electricity graduates of Mdantsane township of which some had dropped out of school at an early age. This illegal electricity connection is continuing to claim lives of innocent people, mainly young and very old people.
I remember in November 2016, a 64 year old year old woman died after she allegedly tripled over illegally connected electric wires. She was walking home from hospital when the incident occurred. The similar incident happened to a young boy who was playing and fell over the illegally connected wires but fortunately the boy did not die, he was rushed to Cecilia Makiwane hospital where he got help immediately.
It is so sad that even after so many people dying because of these illegal wires, the people of Mdantsane especially those living in shacks do not want to change their lifestyle.

ReplyDeleteThese are sad news, I think if the government could just intervene and try helping these poor souls out otherwise more people are going to be injured or worst killed
ReplyDeleteWhy these people don't ask Eskom if they need electricity, now innocent souls are killed....
ReplyDeleteThese people are just careless

ReplyDeleteThey're putting their lives in danger, the government needs to intervene
ReplyDeleteThis is a very serious issue that affects all South African townships. I think that it is caused by negligence in our communities. It is our responsibility to report such doings as illegal electrical connections, being a snitch is not a bad thing if you're saving lives by doing so. It is partly the government's fault, Eskom's and largely that of the illegal residents.
ReplyDeletethis one is out of question, people should be arrested when they do such crime
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on that one guys, we have to report this as it is taking the lives of our people.
