#21DaysLockdown sees an increase in Eskom vandalism
Eskom says it concerned over the recent spate of theft and vandalism of its infrastructure in Gauteng during the coronavirus nationwide 21 days of lockdown.
The power utility says in a statement these incidents have led to power supply interruptions in recent days.
Gauteng’s Operating Unit Senior Manager for Operations Maintenance, Motlhabane Ramashi, says the theft and vandalism of the network and equipment result in inconvenience to the public.
“But also have significantly negative impact on our operations and efforts to provide the much needed service to essential service and residents,” says Ramashi.
