On the afternoon of Sunday July 30, 2023, the inhabitants of the town of Limete witnessed an alarming incident: the electrical box installed on Avenue Garagiste caught fire. The origin of the fire is still unknown, but the local population is turning to the National Electricity Company (SNEL) to find a quick solution to this problem.
Interviewed on the spot, the inhabitants expressed their concern about this situation. They ask SNEL to intervene quickly to repair the burnt cabin, underlining the risk of remaining several weeks without electricity in the district. Their main concern is to regain normal access to electricity, essential for daily activities.
This situation reflects a recurrent problem in many neighborhoods of Kinshasa. Electrical cabins are often poorly maintained, and some connections do not comply with safety standards. In addition, it is common to see so-called technicians circulating in the streets of the capital with ladders, although they are not mandated by SNEL. This dangerous situation endangers the population and requires rapid intervention by the competent authorities.
The responsibility for the repair of the burned electrical cabin now rests with SNEL. The population asks that this repair be carried out as soon as possible in order to restore the electricity supply in the district. It is essential that SNEL takes into account the needs of the local population and acts quickly to solve this problem.
In conclusion, the fire in the electrical cabin on Avenue Garagiste in Limete is a worrying incident that requires urgent intervention by SNEL. It is essential to restore electricity to the neighborhood and to take the necessary measures to avoid such incidents in the future. The safety and well-being of the population must be a priority and it is imperative that the competent authorities take the appropriate measures to remedy this situation
