Fire in an electrical cabin in Limete: the population demands rapid intervention from SNEL
The Funa district, in the commune of Limete in Kinshasa, was the scene of a fire which affected an electrical box located on Avenue Garagiste. This incident occurred in the afternoon of Sunday July 30, 2023. The inhabitants of the district, concerned by this situation, are making an urgent appeal to the National Electricity Company (SNEL) to intervene quickly and repair the burned cabin. .
The origin of the fire remains unknown, raising questions among residents. Witnesses on the spot claim not to have noticed any warning signs before the fire in the cabin. It is now urgent to remedy this situation, because the power cut could last several weeks if no action is taken.
The inhabitants of the district express their concern and their request for assistance to the SNEL. They ask the company to intervene quickly to repair the damaged cabin. For the moment, the population does not know the exact origin of the fire, but their main concern is to see electricity restored in their neighborhood as soon as possible.
This incident also highlights the issue of security of electrical installations in Kinshasa. Many neighborhoods in the Congolese capital face similar risks due to non-compliant connections and work carried out by unlicensed technicians. It is therefore essential that SNEL takes measures to ensure the safety of electrical cabins and avoid such incidents in the future.
The ball is now in the court of the Société Nationale d’Electricité, which must act quickly to repair the burnt cabin in Limete. Residents are eagerly awaiting the restoration of electricity to their neighborhood, hoping that this incident will serve as a lesson to strengthen security measures and avoid such incidents in the future
