Cape Town – An alleged cable thief got the shock of his life when an explosion occurred while he was in the act of his crime.
The man sustained serious burn wounds all over his body.
A video of the incident has been circulating on social media, with Mzansi showing no sympathy for the man.
In the video, the man is seen with burns all over his body. What appears to be pieces of his burned skin and clothes seem to be peeling off, as he painfully walks away.
Men’s voices can be heard telling the burnt man to sit down, but he continues to walk away.
