The families of two three-year-olds, who were electrocuted by an illegal wire near their homes in Zwelisha, north of Durban, are demanding justice for their deaths.
Residents say a neighbour made an illegal connection to his shack, and left the exposed live wires on his fence and on the ground. Community member Busani Ngwenya said residents had gone looking for the man but had not found him."Due to frustration, they burnt his house. We don't know where he is," he said.
She said she was at work when she got the devastating call."I rushed home. When I got to the clinic, my child was already dead," Ndlela said as she burst into tears."Every morning when I left for work, she would be up and crying, wanting to come with me. But yesterday, she was fast asleep when I left, and I didn't want to wake her, not knowing it was the last time I would see her alive," she said.
Kwenzakonke's grandmother, Mabongi Gazu, described the scene after the incident."When I got there, the children were lifeless, but their bodies were still warm," she said.
