Tuckshop Owner Steals Electricity From ZESA Worth US$8,712

A 34-year-old man from Nyanga has received a wholly suspended 12-month prison sentence for unlawfully diverting electricity to his tuckshop.
Bright Maturura appeared before the Nyanga Magistrates’ Court, charged with violating the Electricity Act (Chapter 13:19).
The court heard that in July 2020, at Matema Business Centre in Nyanga, Maturura had directly connected a power cable from the grid to his tuckshop.
On December 14, 2023, ZESA employees discovered the illegal connection and apprehended him. His actions resulted in a loss of US$8,712 for ZESA.
The court sentenced Maturura to 12 months in prison, wholly suspended on the condition that he completes 420 hours of community service at Matema Primary School.

Logic says the number is impossible to correctly estimate.
1 - no meter involved
2 - we have load shedding of up to 18h/day
Are we saying that in 4 years, with 6-8h/day a Tuckshop used more electricity than an average household of 5 people? Highly improbable

This is OUTRAGEOUS...Only the deranged and mentally unstable cretins violate the Electricity Act prejudicing the entirety of the power company from getting much needed funds....The judge was too lenient... community service for this horrible monster 🚮...If it were up to the Erudite, the perpetrator would have been shot by firing squad in a public square at high noon... Erudite out

The cretin that needs to be shot is you, no... first tortured in a big pot of boiling water like in the series shogun, that needs to be done to you, even if he paid for his electricity, what difference will it make, zesa is pocketing the money, they are not improving our current electricity supply at all, it's not like you going to get zesa everyday for the whole day, wake up Cretin guy, or more like Rot Guy😂😂😂

Hapana hapana sir, only wanted to exercise your language command here. What about the public funds abused on a daily basis without any disclosures as required by the law.

i wonder how they came to such a figure. A fullhouse rarely spends $50 on electricity. it never happens. Assuming he was siphoning $50 worth of electricity to his tuckshop for 3.5years(ie. July 2020 to Dec 2023) or a total of 41 months, his consumption will be $2051. that $8000 is exaggerated and likely the reason the court was lenient. In any case zesa has ichirikugadzira dabuka ere
