An investigation has been launched after a teenage boy was electrocuted in Philippi.
It's believed the 17-year-old was trying to install an illegal power connection at the Jim se Bos informal settlement yesterday.
A friend who was with the teen said he had climbed onto a pole-mounted transformer and was shocked while trying to switch on the electricity supply.
He died on the scene.
The City of Cape Town says about three years ago, a 12-year-old boy was also electrocuted in the same area after apparently falling on an illegal power connection.
