Residents of the Katima Mulilo Extension 27 and those of Choto Extensions Seven and Eight in the Zambezi Region who have been living without electricity will soon have their houses electrified.

A 48-year-old man died at Katima Mulilo's Chotto compound after a hand grenade detonated.

The grenade victim was home with his family after it is presumed he picked up the grenade earlier.

His family remembers him hitting the object, unknown to them at the time, with a stick.
