3 public pools in Cape Town closed after theft of pumps, filters, cables | itchybyte
Cape Town's cable and equipment thieves appear to have hit on a new modus operandi, with the theft of vital equipment from three public swimming pools.
A chlorinator, two booster pump motors, a dosing system, chlorine masks, PVC pipe, copper pipes and other fittings were stolen from the Parow North pool.Zahid Badroodien, Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, said these thefts were a terrible blow for swimmers who need to train, and for the children in the areas who love the facilities.
The theft of cables from the Manenberg pool means the facility has no electricity, which affects water quality. In January a staff member who was patrolling the perimeter of that pool had a brick thrown at him as he tried to close a vandalised hole in the fence. Contractors' vehicles "We are also assessing the situation at the Parow North swimming pool, where a similar incident took place on or around Human Rights Day," said Badroodien.
