Episode Details

Johannesburg’s power grid hit hard over the weekend as City Power reported nineteen major infrastructure security incidents—including cable theft, vandalism, and fires—costing hundreds of thousands in repairs. But there’s hope: residents in Jackson Squatter Camp helped police recover 45 meters of stolen cable, earning praise from City Power for proving communities are key allies in protecting vital infrastructure. Meanwhile, three Zimbabweans were arrested in Marshalltown for stealing copper cable, and investigators probe two substation fires and other disturbances across neighborhoods. City Power is urging citizens to report suspicious activity via multiple hotlines and a WhatsApp line, stressing that every tip helps fight crime and free up funds for grid improvements.
