AN operational boob by Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission
and Distribution Company on Tuesday saw its employee being electrocuted while
operating on a power line.
The man, who could not be identified yesterday, was
electrocuted in Battlefields in Kadoma on Tuesday evening when power was
restored while workers were still doing maintenance work.
Sources say the unidentified employee later died on his way
to receive further medical attention in Harare.
Police National Spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi said they were investigating the incident but could not divulge the name
of the deceased.
“We are investigating a case in Battlefield whereby a ZESA
employee was allegedly electrocuted whilst trying to fix a fault.
“Police will reveal his identity immediately after his next
of kin are informed,” he said.
ZESA spokesperson Fullard Gwasira could not immediately
comment on the accident saying internal investigations were still going on. H
