Gauteng Head of the Hawks, Major-General Ebrahim Kadwa, says Gauteng is the marketplace for stolen copper cables. They are brought in from other provinces and neighbouring countries; and get melted at a refinery before being shipped overseas.

He says Gauteng is the central hub for the lucrative trade in stolen copper cables and that some of the big businesses are able to evade prosecution by paying large amounts of money to authorities. “”Most of the copper is sent into international markets. The International Trade and Administration Commission has strictly controlled the issuing of export permits. But what the bad guy is doing is working with complicit shipping companies and they are able to manipulate the customs declaration code and would give it as scrap metal instead of copper products.

Owned Enterprises are unable to positively identify their stolen infrastructure, and this poses a challenge for law enforcement to prosecute perpetrators.
