I had to share this!!! It can only happen in Africa!!

You may not believe this. But it really happened. Here in Africa.

 

The owner of the below house came home after work one day to find the local Power Coprporation had installed a new line of electricity poles.

 

Check out the picture and see where they planted the pole tensioner cable.

 

When he complained, they wanted $500 equivalent in local currency to have it rellocated. It has now been four days. He does not want to pay (obviously) and they do not want to move it.

 

It is not like he built his drive way at the wrong place. The plans were approved by the local council. The house has been there for the past two years and this happens last week.

 

Go figure!!!!

Needs some of those special white ants we have here . . . called bolt cutters.

Truly - it happens everywhere - I was looking for another one that was on one of TV programs but came across this one instead.... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/opinion/in-black-and-white-sit-down-stand-off/story-fn4qercp-1225853661278

And here's a classic in Sydney where the owners of the house presumably got what they deserved!!
