Play stupid games, win stupid prizes with a transformer. A man got electrocuted while apparently trying to steal cable from a mini substation near a welding shop in Ladanna, Polokwane. His body was found trapped between two substations. A security head for Bosveld said power outages from cable theft are a constant issue in the area, and he discovered the scene during one such blackout.

The deceased is believed to be a Zimbabwean national. He had an accomplice who fled into nearby bushes when people gathered after a transformer exploded. Locals are furious about persistent cable theft disrupting their electricity for days. Resident Andries Selokela said the criminals continue despite the risks. Madia Makgato demanded police find the escaped suspect for answers on their operation.

Limpopo police opened an inquest. Spokesman Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba said investigators found three cut cables under the substation. A bolt cutter and gloves were recovered near the body, which had visible injuries to the back. Police continue to probe the circumstances.
