South Africa: WARNING AGAINST PUTTING UP ELECTION POSTERS ON ELECTRICAL STRUCTURES

ELECTION NEWS - Eskom has cautioned political parties against putting up election posters on electrical structures as part of their campaigns due to the risk of electrocution.

As South Africa is getting ready to host the 2024 General Elections on 29 May 2024, political parties are putting up election posters as part of their campaigns.

“In the past, there have unfortunately been incidents where persons have been electrocuted or shocked when putting up these posters. As such, Eskom would like to caution all political parties against the dangerous practice of placing campaign posters on electrical structures.

"This includes electricity poles, electricity towers, meter boxes and mini substations. Electricity is invisible to the naked eye and the risk is that when someone gets close to or touches them it may result in an inadvertent flash-over or electrical contact. This can cause serious injuries to the person or even be fatal,” Eskom said in a statement on Saturday.
