dc.description.abstract We report the case of an unusual lightning-related phenomenon. A 41-year-old male construction worker sustained a direct lightning strike, at approximately 16:00 SAST, in mid-November 2021. Scene examination showed a large amount of mud, because of the rain, and remnants of torn-and-tattered clothing. en_US
