Infrastructure theft remains big problem in NC municipality | News Article

The alleged theft and vandalism of the infrastructure in the Northern Cape municipality continue.

This after residents of Homevale, Homelite, Lerato Park, Roodepan, and other surrounding areas were informed that service centers in Homevale, which include offices rendering cashier, housing and credit control services, will not be operational until further notice.

According to the statement issued by the Sol Plaatje Municipality, the suspension of services at the Homevale Service Centre are due to theft and vandalism of technical equipment on the Roodepan water tower.

OFM News had reported that the Sol Plaatje Municipality is facing issues of enormous infrastructure vandalism and theft. The municipal spokesperson, Sello Matsie, previously reported to OFM News that the municipality, together with the police, have been working around the clock to ensure that these criminals are dealt with. A statement from the municipality also cautioned that it will take a few days before the site is operational again, pending the availability of stock of certain items.
