Four boys shocked by BPC electricity

The three juveniles, aged between 8 and 13, were admitted to hospital in a critical condition. They sustained severe burn to most parts of the body after the electricity box exploded on them.

One disheartened resident, Tshepiso Mantswe of Extension 27, Broadhurst said she was at relaxing in her house when she heard a loud thud outside. “It was a frighteningly loud sound. As soon as I heard it, I knew something really bad had happened,” she said. Mantswe ran out of the house to investigate and was met by the grisly sight of the three boys sprawled on the ground.
