An unidentified man of Lusaka has been electrocuted in a botched mission to steal a ZESCO underground power cable.
ZESCO Spokesperson Henry Kapata has told QFM News that the deceased was in the company five people who attempted to cut the Ndeke underground armored cable along the road between Kamanga and Chelstone also known as Obama road.
Mr. Kapata says the four other vandals escaped upon witnessing the electrocution of their colleague.
He adds that the incident brings the number of people who have been electrocuted so far this year to eight of which three cases are related to vandalism of ZESCO installations.
