BPC responds to Poloko appeal :: Mmegi Online

There is hope yet for Poloko Pule whose life was reduced to that of a vegetable when he was electrocuted after entering a Botswana Power Cooperation (BPC) sub-station left unlocked in Gabane.

This is after a private attorney in Gaborone, Gabriel Kanjabanga took up the case and has determined that justice will be served. Kanjabanga, said that BPC has already responded to his letter in which he demands P7.5 million as compensation for the injuries Pule sustained. BPC had offered a mere P1,500 as compensation.

Kanjabanga said in response to his letter, BPC had told him that the matter has been referred to an insurance company that is engaged to take care of cases of this nature. "A man from the insurance company phoned me yesterday to tell me he was coming from South Africa so that we could meet and discuss the issue," he said.
