Show Notes
Cape Town launches anti-vandalism tech pilots to combat electricity infrastructure theft, draining millions annually. The Protect Your Power campaign aims to secure critical infrastructure, reduce outages, and prevent recurrent damage. City leaders deem the cycle unsustainable, with repairs followed by repeated vandalism. Last years losses topped sixty-two million rand. The pilots are part of a broader initiative involving increased police presence, anti-theft measures, and material swaps. Residents are encouraged to report suspicious activities near power spots to aid in prevention and protection.
