According to the statement issued by the municipality, Ga-Segonyana Local municipality has been experiencing challenges of cable theft and vandalism of property. OFM News reported that the Northern Cape municipalities continue to be hit hard by acts of vandalism. The Sol Plaatje municipal spokesperson, Sello Matsie, reported that the thing that makes it difficult for municipalities to deal with criminals who are vandalising municipal infrastructure, is that it is the same offenders who have been arrested after being released from prison.

Ga-Segonyana municipality stated that three suspects were arrested on Wednesday after they were found with stolen goods, as well as weapons. They were charged with counts of malicious damage to property and theft. The trio are expected to appear before the Kuruman Magistrate’s Court soon.
