 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair. In sentencing, the court ordered that the couple be taken to the Plumtree Border Post for deportation to Zimbabwe.  Top Botswana lawyer Winnie Masitha who offered the couple free legal representation during the trial, confirmed the deportation to BTV News.

TCN YESTERDAY SAID THAT IT HAD REMOVED ILLEGAL STRUCTURES ENCROACHING ON ITS TRANSMISSION LINE RIGHT OF WAY (ROW) IN SOME AREAS OF ENUGU STATE.(PHOTO).


 The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) yesterday said that it had removed illegal structures encroaching on its transmission line Right of Way (RoW) in some areas of Enugu State.


According to TCN’s general manager, public affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, the company said that the removal of the structures was part of ongoing efforts to protect critical power infrastructure and ensure public safety.


Mbah said that the demolition affected fences and other structures erected dangerously close to Tower 31 of the Ugwuaji–Makurdi 330 Kilo Volt (KV) Double Circuit Line at Akpuoga Nike in Enugu East Local Government Area.


According to her, the company also removed other structures along the corridor of a 132kV transmission line, which posed serious safety risks and obstructed maintenance access.


She said that prior to the demolition exercise, TCN had consistently carried out sensitisation campaigns warning residents and traders against conducting activities within the transmission corridors.


"The action was unavoidable, and necessitated by the need to prevent accidents, safeguard lives and property, and ensure unhindered access for linesmen during routine inspections and emergency repairs.


"For prospective land developers, the clearance for transmission lines right of way is 50 Meters (M) for 330kV lines (25M on each side) and 30M for 132kV transmission lines (15M on each side)," she said.
