Cables worth R23-million stolen

Copper cables valued at R23-million (equivalent to 356 tons) were stolen in May, R4,5-million less than in April according to the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry's latest Copper Barometer. The barometer reached a record high of R34,7-million in March, according to reports from Business Live, News24 and IOL News.

3 Jul 2012

Business Live, News24 and IOL News report that Sacci's chief executive Neren Rau has said the reason thefts dropped is because there was better co-operation between business and the police services, greater communication and a pooling of resources to combat cable theft.
