Residents of Rustenburg, in the North West province, are outraged by a sporadic increase in copper cable theft which is crippling the City and negatively affecting them.

There has been a sharp increase in cable theft in their area, especially after power blackouts due to load shedding.

A community member reiterates, “It seems like it is being cut by people who are professionally well vested with the cutting of it but then I understand it can be theft of people who are trying to equalize the score to get perhaps what you can call cable theft.” Meanwhile, the Rustenburg municipality says it loses about half a billion rand per annum due to cable theft. It has called on the community to report such criminal activities.

The theft of copper cable in and around Rustenburg is reaching worrying levels with criminals especially active during periods of load shedding.
