Die kabels wat hulle probeer sny het, het steeds krag gehad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Saak van saakbeskadiging van infrastruktuur is by die Parkweg-polisiekantoor geopen en word nou ondersoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns waarsku die gemeenskap van Mangaung dat dit nie net onwettig is om te peuter met elektriese infrastruktuur nie, maar ook gevaarlik is en dit kan tot lewensverlies of ander ernstige gevolge ly,\u201d s\u00ea Mamatu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Georganiseerde kopersindikate gebruik die donkerte van beurtkrag om infrastruktuur te beskadig met die uitsluitlike doel om later die koperkabels te steel en dit aan skrootwerwe te verkoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Centlec het di\u00e9 entiteit vanjaar tot Junie reeds R1,2 miljoen se verliese gely weens diefstal en vandalisme, terwyl di\u00e9 verlies van April 2019 tot Maart 2022 R1,87 miljoen was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Centlec se veiligheidsafdeling in samewerking met die polisie het ook toegeslaan op verskeie skrootmetaal-ondernemings in Ooseinde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een verdagte is in hegtenis geneem nadat daar beslag gel\u00ea is op gesteelde koperkabels. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
