Pimville, Soweto residents feel law enforcement officials are sub-par after stolen cables that were recently replaced were stolen again.

One community leader has detailed that fateful day when residents were ambushed by a gun-wielding group.“Those women were happy, when gunshots were still ringing, they were ululating, I was like my god.”

Residents had gone to the Chicken Farm informal settlement to find an amicable solution to a longstanding cable theft issue. Moloi says, “I don’t like it when people say it was a march. We were just going to speak to another community. As we speak a cable was stolen again yesterday in the same spot. To show that Eskom doesn’t care. No one cares even after the death of Diale.”

The community continue to call for the removal of the Chicken Farm informal settlement, saying those who once occupied the area have since been allocated RDP houses.Community Safety MEC, Faith Mazibuko says, “Peaceful demonstrations are allowed in terms of the law. Members of the community must act within the confines of the law. If they apply peacefully with the police present, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Mazibuko has called on Eskom to join community members in their efforts to protect key infrastructure.

Close down Human Rights Comm. Let the Police be feared bcoz respect hasn't worked. Make it illegal to have 2cash4scrap within 50km. The courts must play ball no bail to any1 arrested for anything to do with essential infrastructure. That's free advice - thank me later.

Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Williamchurch07 and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R500,000 in 3 weeks thanks Williamchurch07

I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.

You will have to get used to it unfortunately, there are 35 million jobless people in SA .. they have lots if time to take stock of your infrastructure opportunities, and they have 0 concience.

Sesihleli sibambe igazi nje ukuth lights can be off anytime due to this cable theft, it's really a nightmare!
