Five more pylons collapse in Tshwane due to vandalism and theft | The Citizen

Eskom has again fallen victim to theft and vandalism of its electricity infrastructure in the Tshwane area, after five more pylons collapsed in the Hammanskraal.💡

“Such criminal practices have an additionally devastating impact on the economy and on Eskom’s ability to sustain the provision of electricity. The power utility spends a fortune on the replacement of damaged pylons and other network equipment.”This incident happened just a day after some City of Tshwane customers were left in the dark after pylons fell due to theft and vandalism.

“Apart from other Generation challenges, the current situation is exacerbated by the loss of four major units which are on extended outages,” explained Eskom.
