    As it is common knowledge not to walk in the right hand of a freeway, so is the fact that electricity is dangerous. Thats why we have a law which makes the main switch accessible, less than 2.2 m and it isolates "both" live and neutral.

    For the record how many people have died from electrocution changing a light bulb?
    Comments are based on opinion...not always facts....that's why people use an alias.

    Just shows you how well the ELB is

    Jokes aside, the illegal connections are what they are illegal, and if some one gets electrocuted, they do not blame the sparky for it or the municipality/ESKOM
