Ga di ba je. Let them feel what our masses in townships and villages are going through.

Aluta continua!!!

Good

DjPeleza One day the government will shut down everywhere they sell those cables

If police won't do anything about it, then it will mean that the residents must do something about it.

We lost our usual direct telephone and Internet connection due to cable theft. But the cable on the pole line still there. We call it rat highway.

Until the government doesn't intervene there will be no end to cable theft.... If they close borders for all copper, and forbid any second hand copper deals. It will never stop...

I hope the cable thieves intensify their operation in affluent suburbs, so that there will be a more united voice against the scourge, and authorities will start acting decisively now that the 'wrong ones' are being affected.

Catch and cut off these illigal subhumans hands cos they here to seal, rape and murder!!!!

Where do the human rights NGO hippies in their tye-dye T-shirts reside?

They must go to Irene,especially next to Saint George Hotel,I want to see something

absolutely good news they must do more... by chance journalists and politicians will do and understand what we have always been complaining about.

It's good they always praise illegal Foreigners as good people, they must now taste the wrath of these people.

The latest word now to describe our outrage over cable thieves is we are 'haters'. Let's see how the burbs will deal with this issue.

Been happening for years in Tshwane , really poor news reporting.

Great let them sleep in darkness..akere we are xenophobic thina🤗

The investors are making progress

Our poor brothers need to create means of survival.

We don't care let them feel what it's like to be Xenophobic.

Kea91492014 shesha come this side

.... good. We organised ourselves in townships and they called us Xenophobic. Let's see how they will defend themselves

Enterprise minister will close scrapmetals

vusi74285522 Bayalayeka makwere kwere defenders those ones

Feel the music. We are still xenophobic right?

Good. Maybe they will stop calling us vigilantes when we fight this nonsense in the hood and they feel threatened coz their drug dealers might be affected.

We've been saying

its a lie not with the high class...

🤣🤣🤣🤣attack those suburbs illegal foreigners akere they called south Africans vigilantes

What I like about these foreign criminals they are balanced in their terror🤷‍♂️

When they where targeting poor communities you had not problem with labeling communities who took a stand as Xenophobes now that they have entered your spaces your reporting on the matter😂😂😂

It feels good that they are now stealing exactly where politicians live. ayikhale kudzala sibatjela ngalama kwerekwere abeva laba

In Townships residents have organized themselves to combat cable thieves and they are bleksem when caught. They are now targeting suburbs because no one can see what's happening outside in the streets due to high walls...

No man, it's true suburbs need a wake up call in some areas but remember they are also exposed to crime. That xenophobia tag largely comes from the media .Emagine if predominantly white suburbs spoke out against foreign nationals, the ANC and EFF would have a field day.

Gud News indeed. 😂😂

I wish Zimbabweans must target suburbs non stop especially Hyde Park

They found creative ways to enter the country

Island_Tribe17 Let it rise,, ANC calls it Xenophobia when it condemned

Aykhale phezu kwabo bafanas!!!

It’s great to know that even the suburbs are going to feel what the town ship residence feel… we must all be affected equal so they can see we not crazy

Don't panic its our investors

Ziyakhala manje

They did them well, township people will get some sought of relief

kabelodick Lol, azishe 😂

These people target anyone, there's no such thing as affluent areas in their vocabulary.

They must take the whole lot cable there... All of it.. I wanna see something!

Ziyakhala.. The rich get affected too! Bloody sh!t!

They will feel the pinch and value operation Dudula. It is not a vigilant organisation but citizen saying enough is enough. SAcans we must work together to stop this scourge of cable theft. We keep now our fridges empty and always buy what we eat because of that

😂 😂 😂 Those Suburbians are xenophobic

😂😂😂Amen my African brothers 🙏🏽

Mpho61907626 Well done! There must go for more affluent areas and leave us in townships with our load reduction.

Since we know theres electricity racism im glad they are hitting affleluent sirburbs maybe something will finaly be done about this rediculous loadshedding

Akere ge reba kgopela le retima bona. Oliven Fltas dealt with on of them last week. IDD.

The MYANC was never ready to govern this country in 1994 they didn't have any plans on how to govern this country. South Africa is just like any other screwed up African country on this continent. MYANC doesn't care one bit about us and yet people keep voting for that shit.

Mpho61907626 Guptas, African Pastors, foreigners, SA has become a do as u wish Nation... Is this what we voted Anc for... I give up...

Suburbs you say, well let them suffer

🤣🤣 We've been telling the elites that makwerekwere are coming for you while you busy calling us xenophobic.

ALETTAHA wish they can find your area very fast and dismantle it, you'll stop being tjatjaraag! OperationDudula OnsBaizaNie

I think this is beyond just cable theft. This is a security threat...

If it wasn't sad it would be funny, when we complain about cable thefts in our townships, we get labeled Xenophobic, let's see if the armed response in the burbs will be as effective as our communities

Azikhale ke manje

So long there's a market for stolen copper, copper theft will not stop.

Suburban been calling kazi people xenophobic Now they feel the pain

We told them the gated communities that they're not immune, the wrath of foreigners will soon approach them when they done with our townships. Ngithi azikhale!

Who are the real thieves mara this people are destroying our country.

They have to target suburbs cause they are chasing them ko kasi

🤗

Ahhhhh and the surburbs called us xenophobic. May the suffer the full wrath of foreigners

Shutdown all scrapyards around the country

Lol zajika izinto

Mpho61907626 I can offer them my mini truck to collect more items including fancy TVs, cellphones, laptops, etc… as long as the middle class will fell the pinch.

The government doesn't have a plan to curb this as usual, I can't remember of anything they have done with excellence other than 'irregular expenditure' 🤷

Mpho61907626 OperationDudula must push them to go erect shacks on the streets, hijack buildings and break into their homes,,, I like this!

Mpho61907626 Good job! OperationDudula

Open borders and Everything For Free

What is being done by our so called government doing about this problem?!? Cable thieves know that no one is stopping them.

Sabc will be in trouble for reporting on this

Tell me wen it reach Santon i wanna celebrate

This is a pandemic

Foreigners

Townships don't take nonsense. Let's sit back and see what the clever ones in gated estates will do. OperationDudula

Those who buy these copper cables must be held responsible, where do they think these people get cables from?

😂

I'm starting to think this is unofficially sanctioned by Ramaphosa bc his boss KlausSchwab's the GreatReset agenda OperationDudula PutSouthAfricaFirst

Good

Is this cable theft still going on, I thought law enforcement is prioritising it? I smell a rat, it's a syndicate that involves some politicians and business people! Let's see who is defending illegal foreigners, we'll get our suspects!

We can deal with the thieves harshly or afford them their human rights and let the law abiding citizens suffer together with the country's infrastructure. 🤷‍♂️

Launch OPERATIONDUDULA or keep on call us names.

I pray it hits sandton, i want some fools to feel it

Pan Africanism and open borders in full swing, this is just a small wave of what’s about to come their way. Buckle up fuckos, it’s going to be a crazy ride.

Phuzukwabo poor blacks foreigners

Kubo brothers

Atleast the Cyril Ramaphosa govt will help them and protect their surbubs unlike us poor black people in the townships

I wish it could happen every week or monthly

Soon every South African will be xenophobic and called a vigilante.

Our ancestors answering our commands now, I want them to close in to those clever blacks and whites so so bad

They now know, like chicken, that we make human dust of them.

Ant you part of the media that is calling South Africans Xenophobic for deal with cable theft in the country ,im happy it’s reaching the middle class suburban areas now ,let’s hear you call them xenophobic

I'm very happy with these developments. Akukhanye ekasi and let those who call us lazy sit in a dark.

They must keep up the good work that they're doing in the suburbs 🙌🙌

Hehe hehe Pretoria we don't do kak operation Dudula azishe manje ,especially those suburbs because they smoke drugs from foreigners they make them they friends 😄😉

Jeeer this guy's ba bora sham, or maybe they come after finishing centurion. I thought they will pass by Sandton.

Not only will they end up with cables, they will steal taps, drainage covers, gates (Yes a gate you use fir your cars). These are all kind of foreign crimes we never heard in RSA before porous borders. Now, townships burn or stone to death criminals, hence suburbs under siege

Where the police when all this is happening

Sirbubian people think we are mad when we say those peoples are animals

Let them feel what we feel about this people, this people are real curse ,they don't sleep in mzansi they are here to damage infrastructure and drugs

KidiPotse We told em

What's special about them because for us ke ngamihla. How many times have we stayed without electricity?

They're being chased away from the townships. Let their white defenders feel their wrath.

😂😂😂😂WE TOLD YALL THAT YOU WILL NOT BE SPARED FROM THEIR TERROR 😂😂😂Ziyalila

Ayi'khale now thy will feel the pain thebrest of us feel. Thy have friends in high places let them DM eachother

Good! Attack thugs attack!.

Now the middle class we learn that xenophobia is just a word to silence south African cries

Hhmmmmm.... Thy said Soweto people a Xenophobic when thy took action against cable theft...

Just wish this can happen to ur office 😁😁

OperationDudula has chased them from the Townships

In Centurion they are victims, in Soweto they are vigilantes. We must never pay our TV licenses, we must never vote for any party that will save SABC with bailouts. The damn thing should d-ie and miserable d-eath.

Now Zimbos are deploying in the Suburbs of Claver blacks 😂😂😂

Carry on call us names 😂😂 Chickens r coming home to roost AZKHALE! 😂😂😂

Very good now oCleva banyile

Nazo🤣🤣🤣

They employ Zimbos and similar parasites. They deserve what has come to them

Open thy eyes it's not cable theft it's economic sabotage, it creates business ie Demand for diesel and house hold solar goes up including lp Gas. The need to have private energy suppliers increases. Look at the wind farms growing in Western Cape.

I wonder what the non xenophobic and civilized people will do. This pains me cause I also live in a suburb but it's time we all suffer

Well well well...

Welcome to South Africa Now u get to experience an authentic South African experience

this is great news as defenders of these illegal immigrants ransacking our infrastructure live in those suburbs. KUBO!!!!!!

They are gonna understand that when we say foreigners are a problem in this country,we are not mad.We feel the pinch.The influx of foreigners affects us all.When the traffic lights stop functioning bcos foreigners have stolen cables,we all get stuck.

I wonder if they'll continue calling people xenophobic after this.

Any response and action from CityTshwane tshwane_mayor SAPoliceService LirandzuThemba?

We warned them...when they are done with townships they are coming for you in Sandton

Dankos !

I wonder 'who's gonna go out to fight this! Cause most of those in Suburbs Amagwala' all they know is calling pple Xenophobic en Tweeting in defense of Criminals.

I'm excited to hear that the pains the township residents who hv been labelled xenophobic is now starts to be felt by those who labelled us xenophobic.let these criminalities spread to all suburbs of GAUTENG including Sandton where the protector of Zimbabwe thiefs stay

Awu🧐Really?🤔

Abashwe

Good when the 'anti-xenophobia' begin to taste what 'xenophobic' group feel daily. I wish situation gets worse

They must also go to Sandton and braynston

They have stolen from 'the wrong Burbs'

I'm really grateful for all the efforts you have render to me with my little investment of $7000 and with joy over me after withdrawing $70,000 with your help Williamchurch07 thank you for everything you have done for me and my family Williamchurch07

Good job Welcome to Fuckocracy

This is no longer theft but economic sabotage.

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.

At least they will start doing something about it, the rich must never be messed with.
