“I have heard
about the case but I haven’t been able to get in touch with the officer in
charge Gutu district,” said Mazula, warning members of the public of the public
not to attempt illegal electricity connections.

said Shadreck Mutenheri (37) was invited by his brother and a Joseph Nyangove
to go and assist them to connect the business premise to electricity, claiming
they had been given a tender by a contractor from Rutenga.

connections, but Mutenheri later demanded to be allowed to complete the work as
he could do it quicker.
