Man claims $300 000 from Zesa for son’s electrocution
Charles Laiton ·
A SHAMVA commercial farmer, Alpha James has taken the Zimbabwe Electricity Distribution and Transmission Company (ZETDC) to court, demanding $300 000 compensation after his son was injured by live power cables, nearly eight years ago.
James claims that on November 10, 2010, his son, Israel, stepped on live wires that had been left unsecured at his Makuyana Farm by ZETDC employees.
The power utility was yet to respond to the lawsuit, which was filed last week.
