One person raised an interesting issue, commenting that Nyasha Koroka might not be the only victim of Zesa’s negligence.
Indeed she is not. Below is a timeline of incidents that have occurred in the last two years where people were either electrocuted or lost a loved one due to being exposed to live power cables in someway or the other.
What are your personal experiences with Zesa? Did you lose property after a power surge? Or maybe a close relative passed away at a local hospital after a powercut? Tell us what you have experienced with the power supply company?
