Eskom technicians are becoming soft targets for criminals. Concerns are growing for the safety of technicians attending to repairs and other duties at the utility’s substations particularly in Soweto and Mabopane.

City of Tshwane’s MMC for Community Safety, Grandy Theunessen, is equally concerned about the matter saying, “With the problem we have regarding infrastructure and the people of Eskom being attacked, this should be seen in a very serious light. In actual fact it is an act of terrorism, and high priority should be given to the safety of technicians who are rendering the service out there.

On the other hand, members of the communities concerned in Mabopane have explicitly condemned these acts of criminality against Eskom employees with some suggesting that the employees must be accompanied on site by police and private security so as to deter criminal activity.These crimes do not just stop with Eskom’s technicians, but criminals are also targeting the company’s infrastructure – copper cables in particular.

Eskom urges those who might be aware of crimes or acts of violence against Eskom employees to report them to the South African Police Service or on Eskom’s crime line number 0800 112 722.

Prioritise beefed security.

Only because the ANC govt allows this chaos to happen and worsen.

IMAGINE SOWETANS THAT DONT PAY FOR SHIT ATTACKING TECHNICIANS, THEY SHOULD BE LEFT IN THE DARK FOR 6 MONTHS

Police must escort escom technicians where ever they called to work or to fix

Excuses excuses excuses.

Where else in the world do criminals target Escom Technicians, Ambulances, Telcom Technicians, Water Technicians, and other such service providers? Such service providers are sacred in other countries! It only shows the level of moral degradation in South Africa!

Where is Cyril, quiet as if he doesn't exist. Shuu we are led struu 🤞🏿😡
