The City of Cape Town’s Energy teams have been attending to streetlight-related service requests across the city, with 3 000 streetlight service requests being attended to between 23 October and 5 November and vandalised infrastructure being prioritised as a ‘matter of urgency’,The City launched its streetlight focus initiative earlier this year, which has emphasised vandalised infrastructure and enhanced repair turnaround times.
‘There were a number of streetlights that were damaged beyond repair and it was truly shocking to see the extent of vandalism and theft in our hotspot areas. The scale of repairs required often impacts the repair turnaround as entire grids need to be replaced or multiple equipment or pieces of infrastructure must be procured,’ Limberg added.
‘These acts of destruction divert resources from essential services and hinders the City’s efforts to improve the lives of residents in our communities,’ said Limberg.
