Summary
City Power is sounding the alarm over a dangerous surge in criminal attacks on electricity infrastructure in Roodepoort, with organized syndicates suspected behind cable thefts, substation vandalism, and transformer damage that leave thousands without power. The utility is demanding urgent, coordinated action from police and security firms—calling for proactive intelligence, visible patrols, and tougher prosecutions. With sixteen substations already targeted this year and replacement costs soaring into the millions, the message is clear: residents must become vigilant watchdogs, reporting suspicious activity to help protect the grid that powers their lives.
