Eskom reports alarming levels of vandalism

Eskom is reporting alarming levels of infrastructure vandalism and theft.

The power utility says it’s reached disastrous proportions and is threatening essential services and the lives of innocent people across Gauteng.

On Wednesday, the electricity supply to Rand Water in Ekurhuleni was affected due to the vandalism of insulators at the Mapleton line.

Eskom says thieves and vandals target pylons, often leading to their collapse.

Meanwhile, South Africa has experienced rolling blackouts every day this year so far.
