After enduring a week-long blackout caused by vandalism that resulted in extensive damage to a mini-substation, electricity supply was restored on Tuesday 16 December to Homelite, Homevale, and Homevale Extension in Kimberley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the vandalism in the early hours of Tuesday 9 December, which left these residential areas without electricity, a 21-year-old man died after allegedly being electrocuted. His body was discovered inside a ring main unit (RMU) in Homevale Extension during the investigation into the cause of the power outage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repair work was delayed by heavy rain and waterlogged trenches that had to be drained, as well as the extent of the damage, which revealed multiple weak points along the cable. After conducting several tests and making repeated attempts to restore supply, it was confirmed that the entire cable between the H.A. Morris Substation and 12th Street Mini-Substation had to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Apart from the loss of life, the costs of repair work due to vandalism are substantial,” said Thabo Mothibi of the Communications Unit of Sol Plaatje Municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Early estimates are at R4 million \u2013 materials, overtime claims, loss of revenue \u2013 and the municipality will face insurance claims.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such incidents of theft and vandalism of electrical infrastructure serve as a stern reminder of the acts of sabotage the municipality faces in what has become “an ecosystem of thuggery”, the municipality previously stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community activism and care for your neighbourhood are best demonstrated by reporting theft and vandalism of municipal infrastructure or assets to the police on 10111.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/e08d7630612634c4a5ced5db09b6608f","name":"Noordkaap Bulletin","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Noordkaap Bulletin"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/noordkaapbulletin\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/34bbfc92-8b51-45a3-9b95-5fdac473e5f7.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":295333,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/young-man-electrocuted-during-power-infrastructure-vandalism\/","url_meta":{"origin":295578,"position":0},"title":"Young man electrocuted during power infrastructure vandalism","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"9 December 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"A 21-year-old man died from electrocution while vandalising power infrastructure in Kimberley, causing a significant outage in Homevale Extension.
