The Safety Standards in these Mines must be audited. This is the second death from similar sucumstances. Pipo that have lived inChililabombwe still remember at the same same mine, an artisan electrician died. he was not authorised to handle 11KV but was made to work on it. he got burned, they flew him to South Africa just like Mwil and he died also.History has repeated itself. PF get to the bottom of this with Mines safety Department. This is negligence.
