Shudv died maan
If he was a cable thief then he should've fried!!
So on our roads we have RAF to help those involved in accidents. My question is, does Eskom have such autonomous entity that helps out when you got electrocuted.. RAF EAF 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw it hmmm he is badly burnt. But I think that its a good lesson to other upcoming & current cable thieves.
But he made life difficult for other people
