Die verskillende munisipaliteite in die streek sukkel voortdurend met kabeldiefstal asook die uitwerking daarvan \u2013 veral die groot uitgawes wat daarmee gepaard gaan.<\/p>\n
\u201cKabeldiefstal het \u2019n groeiende kommer in die Langeberg- munisipale gebied geword. Hierdie misdadige aktiwiteit het onlangs toegeneem, met \u2019n verbysterende 36 aangemelde voorvalle van kabeldiefstal wat die afgelope paar maande aangemeld is.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie gevolge van hierdie diefstalle het nie net die gemeenskap be\u00efnvloed nie, maar ook dienslewering deur die munisipaliteit.<\/p>\n
\u201cUit die 36 aangemelde voorvalle vanjaar is slegs een mens in hegtenis geneem, wat die uitdagings beklemtoon waardeur wetstoepassers in die gesig gestaar word om die skuldiges vas te trek,\u201d skryf Willy-John Gordon, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Langeberg-munisipaliteit, in \u2019n mediaverklaring. <\/p>\n
Hy maak ook melding van die feit dat kabeldiefstal \u2019n groot finansi\u00eble invloed op die munisipaliteit het.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie uitwerking van kabeldiefstal syfer deur die munisipaliteit se infrastruktuur en dienste. Die finansi\u00eble tol is groot aangesien die munisipaliteit gedwing word om aansienlike bedrae geld te bewillig om gesteelde materiaal te vervang en vir oortyd-arbeid te betaal om die skade te herstel. <\/p>\n
\u201cGevolglik word noodsaaklike dienste, wat die munisipaliteit aan die inwoners verskaf, deur vertragings en onderbrekings in die gesig gestaar.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volgens die Breedevallei-munisipaliteit bestee hy jaarliks \u2019n geraamde R5 400 000 aan die vervanging van gesteelde kabels. <\/p>\n
In Worcester word gebiede soos Zwelethemba, Avianpark, Roodewal en Riverview hoofsaaklik deur kabeldiewe geteister. Hulle meld ook dat drie tot vyf persele per dag deur kabeldiefstal geraak word. <\/p>\n
Die Langeberg- sowel as die Breedevallei-munisipaliteite s\u00ea hulle begin nou in plaas van koper eerder aluminium gebruik wanneer hulle herstelwerk doen.<\/p>\n
\u201cWeens die vandalisering van munisipale infrastruktuur en koperdiefstal in die munisipale gebied gebruik die munisipaliteit aluminium pleks van koper om gesteelde kabels te vervang.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie elektrisiteitsafdeling het reeds \u2019n projek aangepak om oorhoofse koperkabels met aluminium te vervang. Die rede waarom aluminiumkabels gebruik word, is dat daar min tot geen mark vir aluminium is nie, in teenstelling met koper wat \u2019n markwaarde 10 keer ho\u00ebr het. Dit is \u2019n poging om infrastruktuurvandalisme te voorkom, diefstal te keer en om voort te gaan om kostedoeltreffende dienste aan inwoners te lewer,\u201d verduidelik Gordon. <\/p>\n
John Bulani, \u2019n woordvoerder van die BVM, noem ook aluminium in sy korrespondensie met Standard & Gazette<\/span>.<\/p>\n \u201cDie vervanging van ondergrondse kabels word gedoen met addisionele beskerming van staalpype.<\/p>\n \u201cDaar is ook verdere toekomsplanne vir die vervanging van koperkabels met aluminiumkabels, asook die vervanging van oorhoofse kabels met aluminium bondelgeleiers.\u201d<\/p>\n Verskeie inwoners van Wolseley kla ook die laaste ruk gereeld oor kabeldiefstal in die dorp. Volgens die Witzenberg-munisipaliteit loop die hele Witzenberg- munisipale gebied onderhewig onder kabeldiefstal deur. <\/p>\n \u201cOns vervang die kabels soos dit aangemeld word. Die munisipaliteit het in die afgelope jaar al meer as R2 miljoen as gevolg van kabeldiefstal en vandalisme bestee,\u201d verduidelik Rowena Hendricks, \u2019n woordvoerder van die munisipaliteit. <\/p>\n Sy noem ook hulle het \u2019n toename in aangemelde klagtes bespeur.<\/p>\n \u201cOns ontvang daagliks kabeldiefstal- klagtes; dit is reg deur die Witzenberg-omgewing.<\/p>\n \u201cOns het ook \u2019n toename waargeneem in aangemelde klagtes as gevolg van kabeldiefstal, wat ure kan neem om aandag te kry, afhangende van die skade wat aangerig is en die hulpbronne wat nodig is om die kragtoevoer te herstel.\u201d <\/p>\n Die munisipaliteit is egter onseker of enigeen al die afgelope jaar weens kabeldiefstal in hegtenis geneem is.<\/p>\n \u201cEen ding wat ons weet, is dit is altyd maklik om voorvalle aan te meld, maar niemand is gretig om die skuldiges aan te meld nie.<\/p>\n \u201cOns doen deurlopend inspeksies en patrolleer gebiede, maar ongelukkig kan ons nie terselfdertyd op alle plekke wees en steeds betyds op ander bedryfstake reageer nie.<\/p>\n \u201cGevolglik raak dit ongelukkig nie net die middestad nie, maar ook die kabelvervanging-uitgawes en die verhoogde veiligheidsdienstekoste wat aangegaan word om die sleutelpunte van die netwerk te beveilig. <\/p>\n \u201c \u2019n Eskom voorsiende gebied tussen Tulbagh en Wolseley is onlangs geteiken. Dit lei tot lang ure se kragonderbrekings wat nie net ongerief vir Eskom-kli\u00ebnte skep nie, maar finansi\u00eble skade vir sake- en residensi\u00eble kli\u00ebnte.\u201d<\/p>\n Vyf mense is verlede naweek in twee afsonderlike voorvalle op die N1 by Laingsburg weens die besit van koperdraad in hegtenis geneem.<\/p>\n Om kabeldiefstal by die afsonderlike munisipaliteite aan te meld, skakel
